Privately optimal severance pay [PDF]
, 2013 This paper constructs an equilibrium matching model with risk-averse workers and incomplete contracts to study both the optimal private provision of severance pay and the consequences of government mandates in excess of the private optimum. The privately-

Optimal Incentives in Dynamic Multiple Project Contracts [PDF]
We design a multiple project-funding contract that provides optimal incentives to recipients, in a setting where externalities exist among the multiple projects and where donors and recipients may differ in their valuation of the projects.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

As You Sow, So Shall You Reap: The Welfare Impacts of Contract Farming [PDF]
What is the impact of participation in commodity chains on producer welfare? Contract farming – wherein a processing firm delegates its production of agricultural commodities to growers – is often viewed as a means of increasing grower welfare in ...

Disorder‐Broadened Topological Hall Phase and Anomalous Hall Scaling in FeGe
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.By systematically introducing defects into FeGe via ion‐beam modification, we demonstrate that disorder broadens the temperature regime over which the topological Hall effect ‐ a signature of skyrmions or other chiral textures — appears, while also increasing its magnitude.

Optimal time-based and cost-based contracts in construction projects under asymmetric information
Journal of Civil Engineering and ManagementA project owner (principal) delegates a project to a contractor (agent). Because the contractor has construction experience, he has private information about the project’s expected completion time.

Contract Dynamics : Lessons from Empirical Analyses [PDF]
The recognition that contracts have a time dimension has given rise to a very abundant literature since the end of the 1980s. In such a dynamic context, the contract may take place over several periods and develop repeated interactions.

The Optimal Licensing Contract in a Differentiated Stackelberg Model
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 This paper extends the work of Wang (2002) by considering a differentiated Stackelberg model, when the leader firm is an inside innovator and licenses its new technology by three options, that is, fixed-fee licensing, royalty licensing, and two-part ...
