Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Principal and expert agent" ?
This paper analyses principal-agent contracts when the agent ’ s action generates information not directly verifiable but used by the agent to make a risky decision. It considers a more general formulation than those studied previously, focusing on the impact on the decision made and the contract between principal and agent. The paper also uses an application to bidding to supply a good or service to illustrate those results and derive additional ones.
