one person, the principal, hires an agent (e.g. a sales or finance manager) to perform tasks on his behalf but he cannot ensure that the agent performs them in precisely the way the principal would like. The decisions and the performance of the agent are impossible and or expensive to monitor and the incentives of the agent may differ from those of the principal.
offsetting the principal agent problem is the introduction of other variants of performance-related pay or long-term employment contracts for senior management.

Examples of situations where the seller usually has better information than the buyer are numerous but include used-car salespeople, mortgage brokers and loan originators, stockbrokers, Realtors, and real estate agents. Examples of situations where the buyer usually has better information than the seller include estate sales as specified in a last will and testament, life insurance, or sales of old art pieces without prior professional assessment of their value. This situation was first described by Kenneth J. Arrow in an article on health care in 1963.[5]

Bilateral monopoly
In barometric firm price leadership, the most reliable firm emerges as the best barometer of market conditions, or the firm could be the one with the lowest costs of production, leading other firms to follow suit. Although this firm might not be dominating the industry, its prices are believed to reflect market conditions which are the most satisfactory, as the firm would most likely be a good forecaster of economic changes. In dominant price leadership, one firm takes up most of the market but leaves room on the fringe for competition. On this fringe, the rest of the firms operate as perfectly competitive firms, who have higher costs and lower profits. Meanwhile, the dominant firm acts as a monopoly, since it has higher prices, greater market share, and lower costs. Closed shop Only employ union members

Based on two main ideas freedom of individual choice, and zero transaction costs bargaining must be costless; if there are costs associated with bargaining (such as meetings or enforcement), it will affect the outcome radio stations
