Consider an agent who can costlessly add mean-preserving noise to his output. To deter such risk-taking, the principal … optimally offers a contract that makes the agent's utility concave in output. If the agent is risk-neutral and protected by … limited liability, this concavity constraint binds and so linear contracts maximize profit. If the agent is risk averse, the …

We show that concerns for fairness may have dramatic consequences for the optimal provision of incentives in a moral hazard context. Incentive contracts that are optimal when there are only selfish actors become inferior when some agents are concerned about fairness. Conversely, contracts that...
