Efficient dissolution of partnerships and the structure of control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Past work has shown that asymmetric information and asymmetric ownership affect the possibility of efficient dissolution of partnerships. We show in this paper that control is also a central determinant of the possibility of efficient implementation. We demonstrate this point by analyzing a benchmark case of asymmetric control where a single partner exercises complete control under the status quo partnership. We show that two-person partnerships cannot be dissolved efficiently with any incentive compatible, individually rational mechanism, regardless of the ownership structure, but that this impossibility result can be reversed if the number of partners is sufficiently large. We also show that equal-shares partnerships are not generally the easiest to dissolve when the distribution of control is asymmetric. JEL Codes: C72, D82, L14

Dissolving (in)effective partnerships
This paper studies the problem of partnership dissolution in the context of asymmetric information. Past work has shown that ownership share endowments, interdependence of partners’ valuations, and asymmetric control all affect the possibility of efficient dissolution. In this paper, I argue that the effectiveness of the existing partnership in generating value, which has not been studied, is o...
متن کاملThree essays on Efficiency and Incentives in Teams and Partnerships
Classic economic theory claims that teams and partnerships are inflicted with free– riding incentives and are inferior to capitalist firms in eliciting proper actions from players. This contradicts the popularity of teams and partnerships as organization forms. By accounting for several factors that may significantly affect effort provision (investment) but have been generally neglected in the ...
متن کاملAll Health Partnerships, Great and Small: Comparing Mandated With Emergent Health Partnerships; Comment on “Evaluating Global Health Partnerships: A Case Study of a Gavi HPV Vaccine Application Process in Uganda”
The plurality of healthcare providers and funders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has given rise to an era in which health partnerships are becoming the norm in international development. Whether mandated or emergent, three common drivers are essential for ensuring successful health partnerships: trust; a diverse and inclusive network; and a clear governance structure.

متن کاملEvaluating Global Health Partnerships: A Case Study of a Gavi HPV Vaccine Application Process in Uganda
Background Global health partnerships have grown rapidly in number and scope, yet there has been less emphasis on their evaluation. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is one such public-private partnership; in Gavi-eligible countries partnerships are dynamic networks of immunization actors who work together to support all stages and aspects of Gavi support. This paper describes a conceptual framework ...
متن کاملCompact and Efficient Active Vibro-acoustic Control of a Smart Plate Structure
An effective wide band active control law through one kind of the Dynamic Vibration Absorber (DVA) is proposed and studied in this paper. With the help of mechanical impedance method, active DVA control law is formulated based on the passive mechanical model. The electrical DVA can generate multi-mode active damping to the structure. The host structure is an aluminum plate and acceleration sign...
