ABSTRACT

This note characterizes the optimal contract when a principal has unverifiable subjective information that is correlated with an agent’s private information. We find that the principal’s subjective information cannot alleviate the information asymmetry and, moreover, the second best contract is independent from it if the correlation is low.
