Abstract

Although legal restrictions limiting the workers? liability are made to increase their welfare, we show that they may lead to a perverse effect when more productive workers cross subsidize less productive workers. A generalized agency model is analyzed and used to show that exonerating a wealthy agent from liability for damages caused during the execution of the contract decreases the more productive workers? expected utility in the pooling equilibrium of the combined model.
