Bargaining under Asymmetric Information and the Hold-up Problem
The hold-up problem is considered a fundamental determinant of contractual and organizational structure. We study a model in which players first make relation-specific investments and then bargain over the price to exchange a good. We present a new form of misallocation of resources that may arise if one of the sides has private information in the bargaining phase. In general, the outcome of ba...

متن کاملIs There a Monopole Problem ?
We show that there exists a range of parameters in SU(5) theory for which the GUT symmetry remains broken at high temperature, thus avoiding the phase transition that gives rise to the overproduction of monopoles. The thermal production of monopoles can be naturally suppressed, keeping their number density below the cosmological limits. A. Introduction It has been known for a long time that the...

We find support for these propositions by comparing international to domestic ac...
