The principal-agent problem in finance often manifests through personal incentives like steak dinners or strip club visits.
Personal favors such as steak dinners create a sense of gratitude, while strip club visits add an element of fear and secrecy.
Historically, strip club visits were a more overt form of influencing agents, creating a bond of seedy co-conspirators.
The agent may comply with requests out of fear of exposure to their boss or spouse.
