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.

拉丰教授认为激励问题是经济学的核心问题,因而几十年来,他一直献身于激励理论的研究与应用,而三卷本的巨著《激励理论》(与马赫蒂摩合著,第一卷已于2002年出版)是集这一理论40年发展之大成之作,9标志着激励理论的一个统一的标准的理论框架的形成,9被经济学大师肯尼思·阿罗誉为激励理论发展的一个里程碑.

委托代理理论是建立在非对称信息博弈论的基础上的。非对称信息(asymmetric information)指的是某些参与人拥有但另一些参与人不拥有的信息。信息的非对称性可从以下两个角度进行划分:一是非对称发生的时间,二是非对称信息的内容。从非对称发生的时间看,非对称性可能发生在当事人签约之前(ex ante),也可能发生在签约之后(ex post),分别称为事前非对称和事后非对称。研究事前非对称信息博弈的模型称为逆向选择模型(adverse selection),研究事后非对称信息的模型称为道德风险模型(moral hazard)。从非对称信息的内容看,非对称信息可能是指某些参与人的行为(action),研究此类问题的,我们称为隐藏行为模型(hidden action);也可能是指某些参与人隐藏的知识(knowledge),研究此类问题的模型我们称之为隐藏知识模型(hidden knowledge)。

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]
