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.

I have gained some education in economics, but I am ignorant of agency theory. Can you recommend a text which would introduce me to agency theory?
