1. Incentives for Truck Drivers. You are running a small shipping company and need the services of a truck driver. The truck driver can control the maintenance of the truck by choosing an effort level en E [0, 4], which controls the value of the truck y(e) = pe where p > 1. He also controls the quality of service by choosing another effort level e2 2 4 - e, which results in output (to you) of y2(e2) = e2. ! These two tasks compete for the driver's attention, as witnessed by his cost function C(e1, e2) = (1/2)(e1 + e2 - 4)'. The service level e2 is observable, but the maintenance level e, is not. You want to incentivize the driver by giving him a linear compensation schedule a + Bez. a) First assume that the driver is an independent contractor, so he owns the truck and hence its value y1(e1). What level of 3 maximizes the total value (i.e. the sum of your payoff and the driver's payoff) of the contract? (for simplicity only consider B 0 and 3 = 0 separately and assume, as in class, that the driver splits his effort equally between the two tasks when he is indifferent)? How does your answer depend on p? Interpret your answer. c) Now assume that maintenance is really important, i.e. p > 1.25. Discuss how your answers in part a) and b) differ
