摘要
A risk-neutral seller exerts effort while producing a good. The risk-neutral buyer can gather private information about his valuation. The ex ante optimal contract may encourage information gathering, although it is ex post efficient to trade regardless of the valuation. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
