Funny how many people want help with this. Seems different than most other theories that pop up. Not that hard to find agency theory papers……

The Agency theory is so fascinating and it is very relevant for small partnership firms where one partner is in charge of the of the firm on day-to-day basis. To what extent does corporate laws of a country influence the theory. More information on this to me can be very helpful.

Thanks for your site

and interesting, non-economic, non-technical introduction to “the principle-agent-framework” is by a man called Jan-Erik Lane (I forgot the title). It’s interesting because he ties the PA-framework in to more broader ideas of politics and law.

Then again, I have never read a better description of the basics then Jensen and Meckling’s “theory of the firm”

Hi Richard, Georg Hendrikse 2003 Economics and Management of Organizations has a nice treatment of agency theory (chpts 5 & 6). Joe Mahoney’s Economic Foundations of Strategy from 2004 can also be recommended.
