摘要
This paper considers franchise arrangements in the case where the franchisee has private information about the marginal cost of sale. It is shown that the optimal contract in general leads to different margins for the parties than with common cost information. However, in special cases the same margins than with common cost information are optimal. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
