The incentive to 'overinvest' in capital may be eroded in dynamic, competitive settings if firms face uncertainty and irreversibility. In this paper, we derive the stationary Markov perfect equilibrium for a dynamic, infinite-horizon capacity investment game formulated in continuous time in...

I develop an analytically tractable model that integrates the risk-shifting problem between bondholders and shareholders with the moral hazard problem between shareholders and the manager. The presence of managerial moral hazard exacerbates the risk-shifting problem. An optimal contract binds...

We develop a new approach for solving the optimal retirement problem for an individual with an unhedgeable income risk. The income risk stems from a forced unemployment event, which occurs as an exponentially-distributed random shock. The optimal retirement problem is to determine the...
