Agency Theory

Overview

Agency theory addresses the relationship where one party (principal) delegates work to another (agent) whose interests may diverge. Jensen and Meckling (1976) formalized how the separation of ownership and control creates agency costs: monitoring costs, bonding costs, and residual loss.
