Stickiness and Incomplete Contracts

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
Both economic and legal theory assumes that sophisticated parties routinely write agreements that maximize their joint surplus. But more recent studies analyzing covenants in corporate and government bond agreements have suggested that some contract provisions are highly path dependent and “sticky,” with future covenants only rarely improving upon ...

Resistance to Overdoping Allows Over 2000 S cm−1 Conductivity in P(g3BTTT) With Anion‐Exchange Doping

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Anion‐exchange doping of conjugated polymers is an effective way to achieve high conductivities. Here, we report over 2000 S cm−1 electrical conductivity for doped P(g3BTTT). In addition, we show that P(g3BTTT) sustains exceptionally high doping levels without any drop in the charge mobility.

Incomplete Contracts, Incentives and Economic Power [PDF]

This paper formalizes ideas from classical and radical political economy on task allocation and technology adoption under capitalism. A few previous studies have attempted this, but the framework and results in this paper are different.

Non-Fungible Programs

Ledger
The greatest advantage that Web3 applications offer over Web 2.0 is the evolution of the data access layer. Opaque, centralized services that compelled trust from users are replaced by trustless, decentralized systems of smart contracts. However, the

Entrepreneurial Effort in the Theory of the Firm [PDF]

Technology Innovation Management Review, 2012
This article develops a link between the theory of the firm and entrepreneurship theory to enable the study of employee entrepreneurial behaviour. First, we describe how incomplete contracts permit employee entrepreneurial effort in the theory of the ...

Orientation Engineering of MXene Flakes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Orientation engineering of MXene flakes refers to the transformation of disordered MXene flakes into ordered architectures with optimized multiphysical transport properties. Focusing on this topic, this review outlines key principles, characterization, fabrication strategies, and advanced applications of oriented MXene structures.

Know-how disclosure and incomplete contracts [PDF]

When two parties invest in human capital and at the same time decide on know-how disclosure it can be shown that joint ownership with veto power is the optimal ownership structure, given that only incomplete contracts can be written.Incomplete contracts;

On the packaging of infrastructure projects in a competitive bidding environment

Transport Economics and Management
Theory predicts that bundling should dominate unbundling in transportation infrastructure procurement contracts, yet in practice unbundling is common. We present a model with equilibria where unbundling is superior to bundling, with competitive bidding ...

Using a Zero‐Strain Reference Electrode to Distinguish Anode and Cathode Volume Changes in a Solid‐State Battery

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Volume changes of a solid‐state battery cell are separated into the individual contributions of anode and cathode. Simultaneously determining the “reaction volumes” of both electrodes requires a reference electrode with a pressure‐independent potential.
