Consider the optimal incentive compatible contract offered by a firm with private information to its risk-averse employees. If the firm is subject to a binding limited liability or bankruptcy constraint then the contract will yield underemployment in low productivity states (relative to full- information efficiency). Such contracts either yield underemployment in all states, or excessively high variability in employment.
