4 摘要:Hart and John Moore (2008) introduce new behavioral assumptions that can explain long-term contracts and the employment relation. We examine experimentally their idea that contracts serve as ref? erence points. The evidence confirms the prediction that there is a trade-off between rigidity and flexibility. Flexible contracts?which would dominate rigid contracts under standard assumptions?cause significant shading in ex post performance, while under rigid con? tracts much less shading occurs. The experiment appears to reveal a new behavioral force: ex ante competition legitimizes the terms of a contract, and aggrievement and shading occur mainly about out? comes within the contract.
