  • Contracts and Externalities: How Things Fall Apart
    Contracts and Externalities: How Things Fall Apart Garance Genicot University of California, Irvine Debraj Ray New York University and Instituto de An´alisis Econ´omico (CSIC) June 2003. Abstract A single principal interacts with several agents, offering them contracts. The crucial assumption of this paper is that the outside-option payoffs of the agents depend positively on how many “free agents" there are (these are agents who are not under contract). We study how such a principal, unwelcome though he may be, approaches the problem of contract provision to agents when coordination failure among the latter group is explicitly ruled out. Two variants are studied. When the principal cannot re-approach agents, there is a unique equilibrium, in which contract provision is split up into two phases. In phase 1, simultaneous offers at good (though varying) terms are made to a number of agents. In phase 2, offers must be made sequentially, and their values are “discontinuously" lower: they are close to the very lowest of all the outside options. When the principal can repeatedly approach the same agent, there is a multiplicity of equilibria. In some of these, the agents have the power to force delay. They can hold off the principal’s over- tures temporarily, but they must succumb in finite time. Furthermore, even though the maximal delay does go to infinity as the discount factor approaches one, the (discount-normalized) payoff of the agents must stay below and bounded away from the fully free reservation payoff. It is in this sense that “things [eventually] fall apart" as far as the agents are concerned.

  • Nineteenth World Congress Programme
    nineteenth world congress 2 0 2 1 Virtual 2-6 July programme organized by: With the support of: WELCOME MESSAGE The 19th World Congress of the International Economic Association was to be held in Bali, Indonesia in July 2020. But these are unusual times, and the pandemic has forced us to postpone it to July 2021, and to hold it online and in abbreviated form. Nevertheless, we hope we have managed to put together an interesting program and look forward to your participation. Plenary sessions and a selection of invited sessions will be held online by Zoom between July 2-6, 2021, while other invited sessions and contributed papers will be recorded in advance and uploaded to the congress website. The IEA’s World Congress is one of the largest gatherings of its kind and brings people from all over the world to discuss their research and policy issues of mutual concern and to address and debate the big economic and policy challenges of our time. We expect vibrant discussion as usual, and engagement with new ideas in the coming days. The IEA relies on global cooperation for its success. We are deeply thankful to the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia and in particular to Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati who offered to host the original Congress in Bali and have contributed significantly to the realization of the online version. We are hugely appreciative of the tireless work of the members of the program committee, whose names appear on page 2. We are also extremely grateful to Andrea Cavallo, the IEA’s manager and Congress supremo, who has played a pivotal role throughout.
