In this problem\, a principal designs a contract\nwith several agents\, whose actions the principal is unable to observe.\nThe principal is able to see only the outcome of the agents'\nc ollective actions\; and the outcome is either a success or failure.\nAll agents that decided to exert effort incur costs\, and so naturally\nall ag ents expect a fraction of the principal's reward as a\ncompensation. The p rincipal needs to decide what fraction of their\nreward to give to each ag ent so that the principal's expected utility\nis maximized. \n DTSTAMP:20250516T223208Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
