We study how organizations can exist to facilitate coordination in a diverse population by mitigating strategic uncertainty. Members of an organization are obliged to take collective actions, which mitigates strategic uncertainty. But some actions may be detrimental to some members, thus...

We study the interaction between the usual inside information (about asset values) and information about its existence (i.e., about the existence of insiders) in an otherwise standard continuous-time Kyle-Back model. Interestingly, only the inside information, conditional on its existence,...

Recent technology advances have enabled firms to flexibly process and analyze sophisticated employee performance data at a reduced and yet significant cost. We develop a theory of optimal incentive contracting where the monitoring technology that governs the above procedure is part of the...

We propose a theory of security design in financing entrepreneurial production, positing that the investor can acquire costly information on the entrepreneur's project before making the financing decision. When the entrepreneur has enough bargaining power in security design, the optimal security...

Electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to C2 products provides a promising approach for controlling the global carbon balance and restoring renewable surplus electricity, while the low CO 2 activation property and slow OC-CO coupling rate lead to unfavorable performance on Cu-based catalysts. Here we...
