Abstract

We consider a principal-agent relationship where a buyer contracts with a risk-averse supplier for the production of certain good. At the time of contracting, both parties share incomplete information on cost of production. However, after contracting and before production, the supplier privately discovers its cost of production. We study the optimal contract between the two parties in the presence of cost uncertainty when the supplier is privately informed of its risk preference at the time of contracting.
