| Contract theory: Contract theory is the study of how people and organizations construct and develop legal agreements. It is based on the idea that contracts are designed to achieve efficiency by aligning the incentives of the parties involved. Contract theory is a branch of economics that studies how economic actors can and do construct contractual arrangements, generally in the presence of information asymmetry. See also Information asymmetry, Contracts._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Immanuel Kant on Contract Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Höffe I 310 Contract Theory/Constitutional State/Kant/Höffe: Ownership of things, the contract, marriage, family and household community, are pre-state legal institutions which a common, public will, a state, only guarantees, i.e. merely secures: it frees the owner from the effort of defending his own with his own strength. State: (...) is (...) a second-order institution, which is at the service of first-order institutions such as property, contracts, marriage, and family. Justification: With this state foundation Kant follows the thought pattern of contract theory represented by >Hobbes, >Spinoza, Pufendorf, >Locke and >Rousseau. State of Nature: More in contrast to Locke than to the other contractualists, this is not an early historical event, but a pure thought experiment that does not concern the origin of the state as it is, but the rule and guideline as it should be. Free persons who live in a state without state relations, the >natural state (also a purely mental element), let a public legal order arise in the original contract, the so-called social contract. >Legislation/Kant._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
