Abstract
This paper presents a stylized model based on the principal-agent framework in the absence of monetary instrument as a compensation device to agents with privately known production costs. Our results identify a new trade off that arises from alternative compensation devices, as well as the associated implications on firm’s profitability and consumer welfare.
