The aim of this paper is to study asset reallocation in financial markets subject to search, bargaining, and information frictions, and to analyze the impact of monetary policy on equilibrium outcomes. The main results show that private information regarding the quality of an asset impairs its...

This paper studies the problem of delegating the allocation of resources across multiple categories to an agent who has … cap on the allocation to each category, a generalization of Holmström's (1977) ‘interval controls' to multidimensional … allocation. Such limits are more likely to be optimal when the conflict is weaker and the agent's information is also on …

We investigate how adverse selection in the used capital market generates procyclical sales of used capital -- capital reallocation. In our model, adverse selection produces a resale discount for used capital. In equilibrium, this endogenous partial irreversibility is more severe in recessions...

This paper considers the role of equity transfer to strategic alliance partners in mitigating the moral hazard problem that occurs if a participating firm faces some possibility of reallocating a part of the resources devoted to the joint project of the strategic alliance or retreating from the...

This paper proposes a dynamic theory of capital budgeting and compensation when investment information is decentralized and division manager can inefficiently deploy capital. The incentive cost and firm policies vary monotonically with stored liquidity. After bad performances, liquidity is low,...

We embed adverse selection into a dynamic, general equilibrium model with heterogeneous capital and study its implications for aggregate dynamics. The friction leads to delays in firms' divestment decisions and thus slow recoveries from shocks, even when these shocks do not affect the economy's...
