The Environmental Stewardship Scheme provides payments to farmers for the provision of environmental services based on foregone agricultural income. This creates a potential incentive compatibility problem which, combined with an information asymmetry on farm land heterogeneity, could lead to...

We study the effects of granting an exit option that enables the private party to early terminate a PPP project if it turns out to be loss-making. In a continuous time setting with hidden information about stochastic operating profits, we show that a revenue-maximizing government can optimally...

Multi-attribute auctions, designed to address multi-dimensional preference, make a good casestudy where incentive provisions interact with competition. By studying "Cost Time" highwayprocurement that aims to incentivize timely project delivery, we show that awarding incentivecontracts by bidding...
