Implementability with contingent contracts

Author

Listed:
  • Yoon, Kiho

Abstract

We establish the equivalence of implementability by a contingent contract, implementability by a linear contract, acyclicity, and scaled cycle monotonicity when the type space is a compact metric space. We employ graph-theoretic arguments.
