Abstract: 
In a continuous-time setting where a risk-averse agent controls the drift of an output process driven by a Brownian motion, optimal contracts are linear in the terminal output; this result is well-known in a setting with moral hazard and under stronger assumptions adverse selection. We show that this result continues to hold when in addition reser- vation utilities are type-dependent. This type of problem occurs in the study of optimal compensation problems involving competing principals.
