Actuating and Sensing Composites of Liquid Crystal Elastomers and Poly(ionic liquid)s
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Ionic conductive, mechanically tough, flexible, and stretchable filaments of a composite material comprising a liquid crystal elastomer and a poly(ionic liquid) are produced through 3D printing, which exhibit large actuation strain under stimulation and electrical resistance variation in response to deformation or environmental condition changes. Their

Optimal Risk Sharing for Law Invariant Monetary Utility Functions [PDF]
We consider the problem of optimal risk sharing of some given total risk between two economic agents characterized by law-invariant monetary utility functions or equivalently, law-invariant risk measures.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Atomically engineered layered 2D Ti3CNTz carbonitride MXene exhibits ultrahigh heat and pressure sensitivity, enabling dual‐mode sensors with 300%–400% performance enhancement and durability for real‐time health‐monitoring interface devices. Precise nitrogen incorporation (e.g., Ti3C1.8N0.2Tz) boosts conductivity, enhancing temperature response, while ...

The Dynamics of Climate Agreements [PDF]
I develop a dynamic model of private provision of public bads allowing investments in technologies. The analysis is tractable and the MPE unique. The framework is used to derive optimal incomplete contracts in a dynamic setting.

Optimal Banking Contracts with a Continuum of Types [PDF]
, 2013 本稿では，銀行が企業と貸付契約を締結する際に，すでに企業が私的情報を保有している状況における最適契約設計の問題を分析した．最も効率的なタイプの企業の借入額は自らのファーストベストの水準に一致するが，このタイプ以外の企業の借入額は自らのファーストベストの水準を下回るという意味で一種の信用割当を受ける．また，最も非効率的なタイプの企業は留保効用に等しい効用を得るに過ぎないが，しかし，このタイプ以外の企業は留保効用を上回る情報レントを獲得する．しかも ...

Optimally vague contracts and the law [PDF]
, 2015 Many real-world contracts contain vague clauses despite the enforcement risk they entail. To study the causes and consequences of this phenomenon, we build a principal agent model in which contracts can include vague clauses whose enforcement may be distorted by opportunistic litigants and biased judges. We find three results.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D anisotropic hydrogel derived from heart extracellular matrix guides cytoskeletal alignment and nuclear remodeling in reprogrammed cardiomyocyte‐like cells. This study reveals how matrix alignment modulates nuclear envelope dynamics and chromatin state, triggering transcriptional and functional maturation.

Debt and equity as optimal contracts [PDF]
Using a principal-agent model in which an entrepreneur has an investment project whose returns depend on his effort, which is not observable by the financier, the author shows that the optimal contract used to finance such a project can be replicated by ...

Optimal Robust Contract Design
Proceedings of the 25th ACM Conference on Economics and ComputationWe consider the robust contract design problem when the principal only has limited information about the actions the agent can take. The principal evaluates a contract according to its worst-case performance caused by the uncertain action space. Carroll (AER 2015) showed that a linear contract is optimal among deterministic contracts.
