内容简介

　　The book allows for two levels of reading. Certain sections in some chapters are marked with a star to the right of the section head. A first reading should concentrate on the non-starred sections. These sections are accessible to readers who have a simple knowledge of maximization with inequality constraints. Most essential economic lessons can be understood from this first level of reading. Cov-ering the starred sections will enable smdents to manipulate the concepts for better assimilation and will put them in contact with the advanced topics of the field.

前言/序言

　　The development of the theory of incentives has been a major advance iii eco- nomics in the last thirty years. The objective of this book is to provide easy access to this theory for undergraduate and first-year graduate smdents in economics. Our goal is not to be as complete as possible in covering and surveying the many contributions that have fiourished in the realm of incentive theory. Instead， our contribution is methodological and intended to offer students some iiiitial clues for analyzing the issues raised by this theory. As much as possible we have favored the simplest models to explain the core of the theory. The exposition has been divided into three books for methodological clarity. This volume presents the basic principal-agent theory with complete contracts. It allows a first exposition of the transaction costs created by contracting under asymmetric information without having to appeal to sophisticated game theory concepts.
　　The book allows for two levels of reading. Certain sections in some chapters are marked with a star to the right of the section head. A first reading should concentrate on the non-starred sections. These sections are accessible to readers who have a simple knowledge of maximization with inequality constraints. Most essential economic lessons can be understood from this first level of reading. Cov-ering the starred sections will enable smdents to manipulate the concepts for better assimilation and will put them in contact with the advanced topics of the field.
　　Going through the text and.checking the proofs should provide a good way for stu-dents to appropriate the material. Throughout the book we have listed under the heading the major references that are useful to pursue the study of incentive theory.

委托代理理论的主要观点认为：委托代理关系是随着生产力大发展和规模化大生产的出现而产生的。其原因一方面是生产力发展使得分工进一步细化，权利的所有者由于知识、能力和精力的原因不能行使所有的权利了；另一方面专业化分工产生了一大批具有专业知识的代理人，他们有精力、有能力代理行使好被委托的权利。但在委托代理的关系当中，由于委托人与代理人的效用函数不一样，委托人追求的是自己的财富更大，而代理人追求自己的工资津贴收入、奢侈消费和闲暇时间最大化，这必然导致两者的利益冲突。在没有有效的制度安排下代理人的行为很可能最终损害委托人的利益。而世界——不管是经济领域还是社会领域——都普遍存在委托代理关系

激励理论是管理心理学的范畴，管理心理学把激励看成是“持续激发动机的心理过程”。激励水平越高，完成目标的努力程度和满意度也越强，工作效能就越高；反之，激励水平越低，则缺乏完成组织目标的动机，工作效率也越低。[1]

委托代理理论是过去30多年里契约理论最重要的发展之一。它是20世纪60年代末70年代初一些经济学家深入研究企业内部信息不对称和激励问题发展起来的。委托代理理论的中心任务是研究在利益相冲突和信息不对称的环境下，委托人如何设计最优契约激励代理人。
