Many economic problems can be formulated as dynamic games in which strategically interacting agents choose actions that determine the current and future levels of a single capital stock. We study necessary conditions that allow us to characterize Markov perfect Nash equilibria (MPNE) for these...

We analyze in a dynamic model how debt priority rules influence firms' initial capital structure choice, investment timing, and subsequent debt issues. We quantify deviations from first-best investment behavior that arise from different debt priority rules, and document surprisingly large...
