Answer to Question 2

One type of information asymmetry occurs when one party in a transaction observes some characteristics of the good or service that the other does not. In this case, the good is said to have hidden characteristics. Another kind of information asymmetry occurs when one party in a transaction takes actions that are relevant to but not observed by the other party. Such actions are called hidden actions.
