**Affirmed position.** The Macroeconomics of Delegated Management states the retrieved proposition: Delegation is seen to give rise to a generic conflict of interests between shareholders and managers. Kaal's protected corpus separately states: Agency costs are the sum of monitoring costs, bonding costs, and residual loss, and in the corporate context they can be seen as the lost share value resulting from diverging interests between shareholders and corporate managers. The defensible response is a qualification limited to the shared issue identified in the review rationale. This abstract-level comparison does not establish broader agreement, causation, empirical support, or equivalence.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: substantively reviewed abstract-level qualification.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.3743.
- The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
- Crossref abstract-indexed proposition only; full text not independently reviewed.
- Ambiguity is preserved because the review supports comparison, not equivalence or endorsement.
