Patent Defense Financing∗
The protection that innovators obtain from patenting their inventions crucially depends on their incentives and ability to defend them from infringers. We study how the financing of legal costs can alter the incentives to litigate in defense of the patent and, thus, the prospects of infringement and the effective protection of the innovation. We compare the resort to a financier once the infrin...
متن کاملFinancing Constraints and Relational Contracts∗
We consider a model in which a principal must both repay a loan and motivate an agent to work hard. Output is non-contractible, so the principal faces a commitment problem with both her creditor and her agent. In a profit-maximizing equilibrium, the agent’s productivity is initially low and increases over time. Productivity continues increasing even after the debt has been repaid, eventually co...
متن کاملFinancing Constraints and Fixed-Term Employment Contracts
The aim of this paper is to identify the effect of financing constraints on the employment decisions of firms. We present a theoretical model that determines the optimal use of fixed term and permanent contracts in the presence of financing constraints. We then estimate the effect of financing constraints on the dynamics of fixed-term employment contracts versus permanent employment contracts f...
متن کاملRenegotiation of Defense Procurement Contracts
Ex ante contract terms are not always enforced ex post. Through the analysis of enforcement conditions of outsourcing contracts in the French defense procurement sector, I identify the determinants of renegotiations. I demonstrate that analyzing formal arrangements is not enough to account for renegotiations. Informal decision-making plays a major role in that perspective. Determinants of reneg...
متن کاملDappGuard : Active Monitoring and Defense for Solidity Smart Contracts

Deploying a smart contract allows a user to run a distributed application (Dapp) that includes storage, payment features, and cryptographic services all within the context of just a contract script and its layout. However, recently exploited vulnerabilities in the Solidity smart contract language hav...
