Research Interests


Professor Felli's research has focused on contract theory -- in particular on the question: Why are contracts incomplete? -- and also explored political lobbying, the optimal internal structure of organizations in the presence of collusion, blackmail and whistle-blowing, as well as wage determination and workers' mobility in the presence of firm-specific human capital.
