Lawyers and debt collectors are classic examples of people you hire on contingency. The idea is to hire someone with payment contingent on the fruits of their labor. You don't pay them if you don't win, i.e., if you yourself don't get paid. And if you luck out, they share in the windfall.

Studia Logica, 1988
This paper explores conditions under which necessity, Lp, can be defined in terms of non-contingency, \(\Delta\) p (where \(\Delta\) \(p\equiv Lp\vee L\sim p\) must always be true). For systems containing T a defnition is easy, viz. \(L\alpha\) \(=_{df}\alpha \&\Delta \alpha\), because of the axiom Lp\(\supset p\).

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010 After the crisis, bank regulators are considering mitigating liquidity risk by introducing quantity limits on liquidity and maturity mismatch. We argue that aggregate liquidity risk can be reduced with little deadweight loss by encouraging banks, through adequate regulatory relief, to satisfy part of their financing needs with a new class of securities.

Contingent with quality or quality contingent?
Teaching Theology & Religion, 2019AbstractThe world of the modern academy relies heavily upon contingent faculty in the teaching and training of students. Theological studies readily evidences this practice in innumerable ways. While the contingent faculty member is intrinsic to the mission of many modern schools, this piece ponders whether or not a trade‐off exists in the quality of ...

Contingency in the Cosmos and the Contingency of the Cosmos
Philosophy, Theology and the Sciences, 2015Contingency in reality may be epistemic, due to incomplete knowledge or the intersection of unrelated causal trajectories. In quantum physics, it appears to be ontological. More fundamental and interesting is the limit-question ‘why is there something rather than nothing,’ pointing out the contingency of existence.

Tales of Contingency, Contingencies of Telling
2012This chapter examines whether mathematics can help us model aesthetic contingency, and hence create narrative subjectivity. It begins by considering narrative subjectivity as a hard-wired feature of narrative representation and how this feature reflects the post-Enlightenment view of human existence that replaced the old belief in Providence with a new

Unforeseen contingencies [PDF]
, 2002 We develop a model of unforeseen contingencies. These are contingencies that are understood by economic agents – their consequences and probabilities are known – but are such that every description of such events necessarily leaves out relevant features that have a non-negligible impact on the parties' expected utilities.
