Dynamic Contracting with Persistent Shocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed continuous-time methods for solving principal-agent problems in which the private observed productivity shocks are persistent over time, and characterized the optimal contract as the solution to a system of ordinary differential equations and showed that, under this contract, the agent's utility converges to its lower bound/immiserization occurs.

A duality approach to continuous-time contracting problems with limited commitment
TL;DR: The dual problem gives a linear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation with a known state space subject to free-boundary conditions, making analysis much more tractable than the primal problem.

Optimal risk sharing and borrowing constraints in a continuous-time model with limited commitment
Borys Grochulski,Yuzhe Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: A continuous-time version of the optimal risk-sharing problem with one-sided commitment that solves the model in closed-form: optimal consumption of the agent equals a constant fraction of his maximal income realized to date.

Optimal risk sharing and borrowing constraints in a continuous-time model with limited commitment
Borys Grochulskiy,Yuzhe Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous-time version of the optimal risk sharing problem with one-sided commitment is studied, where the agent's consumption is a time-invariant, strictly increasing function of a single state variable.
