Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between an employer and a knowledge worker when an arrangement is set ex-ante to a¤ect the relative bargaining position in the ex-post negotiation. Specically, we study what drives the employers decision to endow the worker with the rights to control the deployment of valuable resources when this choice a¤ects the workers bargaining power in the negotiation. Our analysis highlights how di¤erent informational asymmetries impact on the employers problem of designing the employment contract to be o¤ered to the worker.
