Daughety, Andrew F. - 2013
In this paper we use a signaling model to analyze the effect of (endogenously-determined) third-party non-recourse loans to plaintiffs on settlement bargaining when a plaintiff has private information about the value of her suit. We show that an optimal loan (i.e., one that maximizes the joint...

Jacobi, Tonja - 2006

Prosecutorial Retention : Signaling by Trial
Bandyopadhyay, Siddhartha; McCannon, Bryan - 2010
We examine how retention motives affect prosecutor behavior under different evaluation criteria. In particular, we analyze how prosecutors of differing capabilities respond in choosing which cases to take to trial and which to plea bargain. We show how different criteria distort the mix of cases...
