In this paper we study the properties of general equilibrium with default in economies with incomplete markets. It is … default and promised returns. An analysis of equilibrium in the case of economies with two homogeneous types of agents is also … presented, from which it can be deduced that in equilibrium under partial default the personal valuations of default for the …

In this paper we examine the effects of default and collateral on risk sharing. We assume that there is a large set of … agents default, the assets have different payoffs, and there are as many linearly independent assets available for trade as …

The paper studies a model of delegated search. The distribution of search revenues is unknown to the principal and has to be elicited from the agent in order to design the optimal search policy. At the same time, the search process is unobservable, requiring search to be self-enforcing. The two...

We study the optimal dynamics of incentives for a manager whose ability to generate cash .ows changes stochastically with time and is his private information. We show that, in general, the power of incentives (or "pay for performance") may either increase or decrease with tenure. However, risk...

Governments must usually take policy decisions with an imperfect knowledge of the economic actors' type or the actors' effort level. These issues are addressed within the framework of classic adverse selection or moral hazard models. I discuss in this paper how would the government’s and the...
