Quality certification not only informs consumers but also stimulates producers to supply better-quality products. We study a problem of quality certification in a moral hazard setting. We show that, under standard assumptions, simple certification systems, such as quality assurance and pass-fail rules, are optimal. Our solution method involves interpreting the certification problem as a delegation problem. (JEL D82, L15)
