Specific Human Capital, Credible Commitment and Optimal Capital Structure
In this paper, we show that although ex ante equityholders would like to adopt an optimal displacement and operating policy, they may not have incentives to implement such a policy ex post when the manager acquires firmspecific human capital and becomes indispensable to the firm’s continued operation. An optimal mix of debt and equity can serve as a commitment device in disciplining the manager...

Generally, it is not in the designer’s best interest to go through with the reward/punishment in the “subgame” arising from some disequilibrium play. This would make the mechanism’s outcome function non-credible. We define a notion of credible implementation and, in t...
متن کاملCredible Ratings
This paper considers a model of a rating agency with multiple clients, in which each client has a separate market that forms a belief about the quality of the client after the agency issues a rating. When the clients are rated separately (individual rating), the credibility of a good rating is limited by the incentive of the agency to exaggerate the quality of its client. In centralized rating,...
متن کاملCredible Compilation
This paper presents an approach to compiler correctness in which the compiler generates a proof that the transformed program correctly implements the input program. A simple proof checker can then verify that the program was compiled correctly. We call a compiler that produces such proofs a credible compiler, because it produces veri able evidence that it is operating correctly.
