We find two key factors influencing the success ...

Because of the deleterious price impact of the moral hazard problem, sellers with a sufficiently high bankruptcy risk may be unable to factor their entire accounts receivable pool, even though they offer recourse. The structure of the equilibrium factoring contract is empirically te...
متن کاملNote on Practical Dynamic Programming
Since we convert the original sequential problem into a collection of small problems, it is important to make sure that the solution to each of the small problems is actually optimal in the original problem. In other words, the optimal choice in each of the two-period problem must be globally optimal to justify the transformation. Richard Bellman, the inventor of the dynamic programming method,...
