我们研究了一个多主体道德风险模型,其中主体具有基于期望的参考依赖偏好,如Kenszegi和Rabin(2006,2007)。我们表明,即使每个代理人的成功概率在一个项目中是独立的,主要可以采用团队激励。因为代理人是损失厌恶的,他们对工资的不确定性有一阶风险厌恶。这导致代理人更努力地工作时,他们自己的失败是随机补偿通过其他代理人的表现。在最优契约中,具有高绩效的代理总是得到奖励,而当且仅当其他代理的绩效高时,具有低绩效的代理才得到奖励。
We investigate a multi‐agent moral‐hazard model where agents have expectation‐based reference‐dependent preferences à la Kőszegi and Rabin (2006, 2007). We show that even when each agent's probability of success in a project is independent, a principal may employ team incentives. Because the agents are loss averse, they have first‐order risk aversion to wage uncertainty. This causes the agents to work harder when their own failure is stochastically compensated through other agents' performance. In the optimal contract, agents with high performance are always rewarded, whereas agents with low performance are rewarded if and only if other agents' performance is high.
