Investment under profit-sharing contracts: the adverse selection case

Article Abstract:

Profit-loss sharing (PLS) arrangements have been widely criticized as hampering financial development and impeding domestic savings rates. A simple mathematical model that characterizes investment behavior under a PLS contract in an asymmetric information environment is developed to prove that a shift to the PLS model does not necessarily result in market failure. A comparison was made between the level of investment generated under the PLS model and the level generated under the first-best case. It is concluded that any inefficiency that may arise can be addressed by a government policy.
