【Abstract】

We develop a continuous-time model where a risk neutral principal contracts with a CARA agent who is protected by limited liability, and examine the interactions between information asymmetry, unobservable managerial saving and hedging, and performance evaluation. New to literature, our unique model setup permits compatibility of private saving and hedging, agent's risk aversion, and inefficient project liquidation in one contracting problem. The inefficient project liquidation causes the principal's valuation function to become concave. This endogenously induces effective risk aversion of the principal. Consequently, the risk neutral principal would like not to completely filter out market return from the agent's contract value. Thus, in the optimal contract, the sensitivity to market return balances the principal's risk sharing behavior and incentive provision motive. The resulting optimal contract takes the form of an impulse compensation like that in DeMarzo and Sannikov (2006) and the optimal effort and incentive compensation are highly dynamic as in Sannikov (2008). Compared with a contract of only relative performance evaluation or that of only absolute performance evaluation, our optimal contract delivers higher value for the principal.
