Principal Agent Hierarchies

  • Chapter

Abstract

Up to now we have investigated the situation of one or more decision makers taking decisions within the framework of a team or an enforced team situation. (See the definition of constructional and organizational hierarchies in Fig. 2. 3. ) The levels were allowed to possess different states of information; an antagonistic behavior, however, was not assumed to be present or effective. That is to say, the levels did not exploit their information in an opportunistic way.
