Information Asymmetry and Health Uncertainty: The Contribution of Contract Theory
by Lise Rochaix
The imperfect and even asymmetric nature of the information at the patient's disposal calls into question the use of the standard neo-classical model and has led to application of microeconomic principal-agent models. This paper sets out to assess recent applications of contract theory to the health sector. Although the latter offers a relevant model of interpretation, it is still of relatively little use, mainly because of the fragmentation of decisions relating to the health-care market. The scope and limitations of such an approach must therefore be examined. This is all the more important in that new families of theoretical models involving multiple principals, multiple agents or third parties are now offering fresh angles of application to the field of health.
