Abstract

Dans un contexte de sélection contraire, il est étudié, à partir d'un protocole expérimental, l'intensité et l'efficacité d'une politique de contrôle comme instrument de filtrage dans la relation de financement de long terme entre un investisseur (Principal) et un entrepreneur (Agent). Trois effets du contrôle sont mis en évidence : disciplinant, éducateur et filtrant. Alors que le premier effet est attendu, l'effet éducateur du contrôle laisse la place à un effet d'éviction déjà observé dans d'autres expérimentations mais dans un contexte d'aléa moral. Enfin, l'expérimentation fait ressortir que le principal restaure un effet de filtrage en arbitrant entre l'efficacité et l'intensité du contrôle : il est préférable de contrôler peu pour détecter un peu plutôt que de contrôler beaucoup pour ne rien détecter.
