This paper introduces small forgetfulness and shows that it may destabilize standard full-memory solutions. Players are repeatedly matched to play a game. After any match, they forget with in ̄nitesimal probability the feasibility of any opponents...

Forgetfulness results in interference and/or deletion. Visual shortterm memory (VSTM) gradually decays as the retention time elapses, causing forgetfulness. Little is known about forgetfulness in VSTM, while substantial studies on VSTM have focused on the process of memory encoding, often with control of attention. Evidences suggest that the prefrontal cortex may contribute to maintain short-te...

When a principal and an agent operate with simple contracts, in equilibrium, renegotiation will occur after the agent takes her action. Since renegotiation makes incentive contracts non-credible, the principal may prefer non-renegotiable monitoring options. The current literature does not fully reconcile these predictions with the observation of simple, non-renegotiated incentive contracts. We ...
