Abstract

This paper investigates optimal communication mechanisms in a framework with a twodimensional policy space and no monetary transfers. Contrary to the one-dimensional setting, if the conflicts of interests between the principal and the agent are different on each dimension, the optimal mechanism never exhibits any pooling and the agent’s ideal policies are never chosen. Simple delegation sets that trade off inflexible rules and full discretion are no longer optimal but take more complex shapes.
