We examine the influence of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on the liveliness of local
insurance markets across 16 OECD countries during the 1998–2017 period. Our static panel …

We study the dynamics of microinsurance demand by risk‐averse agents who can borrow
and lend subject to a liquidity constraint, and also perceive a risk of insurer default. Liquidity …

We analyze dynamic risk-sharing contracts between profit-maximizing insurers and risk-
averse agents who face idiosyncratic income uncertainty and can self-insure through …

I map the link between financial contracts and the algorithmic tools and constraints of
blockchain technology related to property rights, information, commitment, and enforcement …

I analyze the mapping between fundamental elements of financial contracts and
transactions–property rights, enforcement, commitment, information–and the algorithmic …

This dissertation studies the role of asymmetric information in dynamic contracts. Through
two chapters, I examine the relationship between constraints on liquidity and the dynamics …

We define, characterize and compute Markov-perfect risk-sharing contracts in a dynamic
stochastic economy with endogenous asset accumulation and simultaneous limited …

I present a model of optimal contracts between firms and workers, under limited commitment
and with worker savings. In the model, firms provide insurance against unemployment …

The authors study the roles of asset contractibility, market power, and rate of return
differentials in dynamic insurance when the contracting parties have limited commitment …

We revisit the role of limited commitment in a dynamic risk-sharing setting with private
information. We show that a Markov-perfect equilibrium, in which agent and insurer cannot …
