I show that stochastic contracts generate powerful incentives when agents suffer from probability distortion. When implementing these contracts, the principal can target probability distortions in order to inflate the agent's perceived benefits of exerting high levels of effort. This novel...

Sellers often discriminate heterogeneous consumers with just a few products. This paper proposes an explanation for such coarse screening, based on consumer loss aversion. In our model, a seller offers a menu of bundles before a consumer learns his willingness to pay, and the consumer...
