| Abstract | Asymmetries of information exist widely in outsourcing market with the development of global economic. The problem of adverse selection with asymmetric information about the agent's production cost in outsourcing of manufacturing industry is studied in the paper. The principal has asymmetric information about agents' production cost and is in inferior position while the agents have their private information and are in superior position. On the basis of the principal-agent theory, two kinds of models are presented respectively under symmetric and asymmetric information. The adverse selection model which can reveal the true cost type of the agent under asymmetric information is set up and the optimal contracts are gotten. The results show that the contracts can attain the objective of inciting the agents to tell truth. Then two kinds of models are compared. The studies we have performed show that the principal experiences his losses owing to the lack of information under asymmetric information. In addition, as the results of our analysis, we conclude that the lower-cost agent obtains extra informational rent besides his reservation utility but the higher-cost agent only gets his reservation utility. The inefficient agent's contract is distorted. Further, the principal's optimal information search interval is given. It is concluded that collecting the agent's private information before signing the contract and offering a menu of contracts are favorable to the principal. Moreover, the principal should weigh the information value and the information search cost. In the end, in view of the given data, the influences of the probability assessment of lower cost on outsourcing contracts are analyzed. The results indicate that there exists efficiency loss under asymmetric information. With the increase of probability assessment on lower cost, the distortion degree of the higher-cost agent's contract is higher, the lower-cost agent obtain less informational rent and profit of the principal under asymmetric information is closer to that under symmetric information |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
