Abstract
In our paper "Dynamic Mechanism Design with Hidden Income and Hidden Actions," we develop general recursive methods to solve for optimal contracts in dynamic principal-agent models with hidden income and hidden actions. This appendix provides the detailed derivations of all recursive formulations presented in the paper, as well as proofs for all propositions.
