We relax the common assumption of homogeneous beliefs in principal-agent relationships with adverse selection. In an evolutionary learning set-up, which is imitative, principals can have different beliefs about the distribution of agents' types in the population. The resulting nonlinear dynamic...

We show that under multitasking - where tasks can be substitutes or complements - a specialist worker with an uneven skill distribution can outperform a generalist with higher average skills. We use a principal-agent model to study worker efficiency and welfare. The main result is robust if a...

We relax the common assumption of homogeneous beliefs in principal-agent relationships with adverse selection. Principals are competitors in the product market and write contracts also on the base of an expected aggregate. The model is a version of a cobweb model. In an evolutionary learning...
