| Description |
During this course, you will be exposed to contract theory, which is the “short term” for the theory of incentives, information, and economic institutions, and its relevance for accounting. We will cover the basic ideas in incentive and information theory like screening, signaling, and moral hazard and the analytics behind these models. In addition, we will use these insights to analyze issues in accounting (research) such as performance-based incentives, budgeting, voluntary disclosure, accounting regulation, and auditing.
