Informed-Principal Problem in Mechanisms with Limited Commitment

No 7513, CESifo Working Paper Series from CESifo

Abstract: This paper studies mechanism design with limited commitment where agents have correlated persistent types over the infinite horizon. The mechanism designer now faces the informed-principal problem in addition to usual issues with i.i.d. types. The paper first shows revelation principle in this context then shows sufficient conditions for obtaining full-commitment solutions with limited commitment.
