摘要
This paper provides a method to prove existence of solutions to some moral hazard problems with infinite set of outcomes. The argument is based on the concept of nondecreasing rearrangement and on a supermodular version of Hardy-Littlewood's inequality. The method also provides qualitative properties of solutions. Both the cases of wage contracts and of insurance contracts are studied. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
