Contract compliance is key for economic growth. However, determinants affecting contract breach are not yet well … understood. In this paper, we focus on contract situations with a potential hold-up problem, such as contract farming agreements … payoff from the contract. Results from our lab experiment in Ghana indicate that overconfident agents, i.e., agents with …
