A firm's revenue R is stochastically related to the effort exerted
by its employee. Effort is a continuous variable. The employee can choose any level of
effort e E [0, ). The choice of effort affects revenue so that:
E(R|e) = e and Var(R|e) = 1
%3D
where E(R|e) and V ar(R|e) denote the expected value and variance, respectively, of rev-
enue when the employee exerts effort level e. The employer cannot observe the level of
effort exerted by the employee. The employer wants to design a wage contract w based on
the revenue and considers only contracts of the form:
w-α+ βR
and so the employee is guaranteed a payment a and then a bonus payment ßR which de-
pends on revenue. The employee is a risk-averse expected utility maximiser. A contract w
gives expected utility:
Eu(w\e) = E(w\e)-eV ar(w]e) – c(e)
where E(wle) and Var(wle) denote the expected value and variance of the contract, re-
spectively, conditional on effort e, p is a parameter of risk aversion, and c(e) denotes the
disutility of…
