Costly transfer institutions and the core in an overlapping generations model
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the overlapping generations economy without intergenerational transfers and the institutions that are admissible for the first generation are presented. Institutions may support Pareto-improving provided they are costly to create and that they cost as much to build as they transfer. Benefits of a young generation is achieved by not performing by the existing institution and building an identical institution for old age.

Moral hazard and renegotiation in multi-agent incentive contracts when each agent makes a renegotiation offer
Article Abstract:
A mechanism was developed in which a second-best strategy can always be applied to the one-principal, multi-agent model. The mechanism developed involves formulation of a refinement assumption on the beliefs of agent and principal. Each agent is then permitted to make a renegotiation offer so as to obtain results that can be valid not only for the one-principal, one-agent model but also for the one-principal, multi-agent model.
