Agency theory or principal–agency theory in political science and economics is a theory around agents: a person or entity (the "agent"), who is able to make decisions on behalf of, or that impact, another person or entity: the "principal". The dilemma exists in circumstances where the agent is motivated to act in his own best interests, which are contrary to those of the principal, and is an example of moral hazard.

Il modello principale-agente, anche detto teoria dell’agenzia, è stato definito come un contratto attraverso il quale un principale (una o più persone) affida ad un’altra (l’agente) una mansione che la obbliga a delegare dei poteri all’agente.
