Pretrial Signaling with Negative Expected Value Suits

We extend the signaling model of Reinganum and Wilde (1986) by allowing for the possibility of negative expected value (NEV) suits. If filing costs are positive, then there exists a separating equilibrium such that plaintiffs with NEV suits choose not to file. By making the filing decision endogenous, we are able to derive new insights on the effects of fee shifting and contingency fees in the signaling model
