We study the incentives of parents to invest in their children when these investments improve their marriage prospects, in a frictionless marriage market with non-transferable utility. Stochastic returns to investment eliminate the multiplicity of equilibria that plagues models with...

We study dynamic moral hazard, with symmetric ex ante uncertainty and learning. Unlike Holmstrom's career concerns …

We study dynamic moral hazard where principal and agent are symmetrically uncertain about job difficulty. Since effort is unobserved, shirking leads the principal to believe that the job is hard, increasing the agent's continuation value. So deterring shirking requires steeper incentives, which...

time separable preferences strongly improves empirical performance. Learning causes momentum and mean reversion of returns … restrict consideration to learning schemes that imply only small deviations from full rationality. The findings are robust to … the particular learning rule used and the value chosen for the single free parameter introduced by learning, provided …
