This paper addresses the class of generalized agency problems: situations in which adverse selection and moral hazard are jointly present. We present a decomposition of the principal's optimization problem under the first-order approach that sheds light on the interactions between the two types...

This paper addresses the class of agency problems with a risk-neutral principal and a risk-averse agent where hidden action and hidden information (on the agent's efficiency) are jointly present. The commonly used technological assumptions - such as the monotone-likelihood-ratio property (MLRP)...
