abstract

  • We provide sufficient conditions on the information structure for implementing actions in a moral hazard setting when Agent has non-probabilistic uncertainty. For a finite action space, under three well-known formulations of Agent's ambiguity attitude, contracts that partition the outcome space in two parts, and are piecewise constant on each part, are enough to implement an action.
