We study a setting in which one or two agents conduct research on behalf of a principal. The agents' success depends on … effort and the choice of a research technology that is uncertain with respect to its quality. A single agent has no incentive … this bias towards mainstream research always entails an efficiency loss if researchers are risk-averse. Our results suggest …

Recent work has shown that, in the presence of moral hazard, balanced budget Nash equilibria in groups are not pareto-optimal. This work shows that when agents misperceive the effects of their actions on the joint outcome, there exist a set of sharing rules which balance the budget and lead to a...
