We introduce a general Principal-Agent model with subjective evaluation and malfeasance characterized by two-sided asymmetric information on performance that allows for an arbitrary information structure. Two generic contract forms are studied. Downloadable! We introduce a general Principal-Agent model with subjective evaluation and malfeasance characterized by two-sided asymmetric information on performance that allows for an arbitrary information structure. Two generic contract forms are studied. An authority contract has the Principal reveal his information before the Agent responds with her information.

Subjective performance evaluation, however, is also fraught with some problems Before deriving the optimal reports of the supervisor for inequality averse agents, we MacLeod, W. B. (2003): Optimal Contracting with Subjective Evaluation.

Here, the optimal contract penalizes the agent only if the public output and the supervisor's evaluation are at their respective worst levels. The supervisor is  Optimal contract: w (q) = (. wH if q q2. wL if q = q1 and t(q) = wH for all q . – Principal pays a constant wage, and he “burns” money in the lowest state. – Intuition:  subjectively evaluate the incentive distortions caused by the imperfect objective performance measure.
