Rewards and Copyrights with Hidden Information
Klas Sandén ()
Abstract: This paper makes a theoretical contribution by
investigating how the optimal copyright legislation depend on hidden
information. A mixed hidden action – hidden information model is used. The
regulator neither observes the type of firm nor the quality choice of
firms. The paper provides no evidence that hidden information can motivate
a copyright legislation. In fact it shows that the optimal policy, with
asymmetric information, is a reward system that is second best.
