Optimal Bunching without Optimal Control1
This paper presents simple sufficient conditions under which optimal bunches in adverse-selection principal-agent problems can be characterized without using optimal control theory.
متن کاملOptimal debt contracts and diversity of opinions : an extreme case of bunching
This paper studies optimal menus of debt contracts such as secured debentures or bonds, in the presence of diversity of opinions between borrowers and lenders. We first characterize incentive compatible contracts, then prove the existence of optimal debt contracts. Finally, we are able to explicitly characterize such optimal menus within a specific case: we notably show that borrowers optimally...
متن کاملDeterministic Mechanisms Are Optimal in Standard Principal–Agent Models
This paper invalidates the claim that a decreasing concavity of the agent’s utility function with type guarantees the optimality of deterministic mechanisms in principal–agent settings with adverse selection and quasi– linear utilities. Subsequently, it readdresses the question of the optimality of deterministic mechanisms. It demonstrates that an optimal deterministic mechanism is optimal amon...
متن کاملOptimal asset control of the diffusion model under consideration of the time value of ruin
In this paper, we consider the optimal asset control of a financial company which can control its liquid reserves by paying dividends and by issuing new equity. We assume that the liquid surplus of the company in the absence of control is modeled by the diffusion model. It is a hot topic to maximize the expected present value of dividends payout minus equity issuance until the time of ba...
متن کاملAn application of differential transform method for solving nonlinear optimal control problems
In this paper, we present a capable algorithm for solving a class of nonlinear optimal control problems (OCP's). The approach rest mainly on the differential transform method (DTM) which is one of the approximate methods. The DTM is a powerful and efficient technique for finding solutions of nonlinear equations without the need of a linearization process. Utilizing this approach, the optimal co...
