2. Contest Design with Threshold Objectives

abstract

We study contests where the designer’s objective is an extension of the widely studied objective of maximizing the total output: The designer gets zero marginal utility from a player’s output if the output of the player is very low or very high. We consider two variants of this setting, which correspond to two objective functions: binary threshold , where a player’s contribution to the designer’s utility is 1 if her output is above a certain threshold, and 0 otherwise; and linear threshold , where a player’s contribution is linear in her output if the output is between a lower and an upper threshold, and becomes constant below the lower and above the upper threshold. For both of these objectives, we study rank-order allocation contests and general contests. We characterize the contests that maximize the designer’s objective and indicate techniques to efficiently compute them

7. The Devil Made Me Do It : The Corporate Purchase of Insurance

abstract

Despite the fact that public corporations ought to be risk neutral, they often carry insurance. This note first considers why insurance (or, more precisely, the package of services provided by insurance companies) might create value, regardless of the risk preferences of managers, shareholders, or other corporate stakeholders. One motive is that their contractual counter parties-buyers, lessors, and lenders - require that they carry insurance. Two explanations for why the requirement might be value enhancing are proposed

9. Lawyers Asleep at the Wheel? The GM-Fisher Body Contract

abstract

In the analysis of vertical integration by contract versus ownership one event has dominated the discussion - General Motors' merger with Fisher Body in 1926. The debates have all been premised on the assumption that the ten-year contract between the parties signed in 1919 was a legally enforceable agreement. However, it was not. Because Fisher's promise was illusory the contract lacked consideration. This note suggests that GM's counsel must have known this. It raises a significant question in transactional engineering: what is the function of an agreement that is not legally enforceable
