Regulating a Firm under Adverse Selection and Moral Hazard in Uncertain Environment by Jing Feng, Yanfei Lan, Ruiqing Zhao

“…In such a setting, the regulator offers a regulatory policy to the firm with the objective of maximizing a weighted sum of the consumer surplus and the firm’s profit (i.e., the social total surplus). We firstly find that the regulator will set the firm’s effort level as zero under observable effort regardless of the market capacity being full or private information; that is, the effort has no impact on the optimal regulatory policy. …”
