Contract Theory 1 Adverse Selection Let us set up the problem as follows. The set of supplier’s type;Q = fq0;q1g, where 0< q0 < q1. Here supplier of typeq0 is superior, and supplier of typeq1 is inferior. And assume that the true type of supplier is only know...
Wald Decomposition Theorem Any zero mean covariance stationary processxt can be represented in the form of xt = 1X j =0 dj t j + j ; where d0 = 1 ; 1X j =0 d 2 j < 1 The termt is white noise and represents the prediction error defined to bet = xt P[xt j xt 1;]...
