unanticipated ornon-contractible stateslead contracting partiesto
be unable orunwilling to com m itto the initialterm s
• Contracting frictions(initialcontractdesign + adverse ex ante
incentives)lead to debtrenegotiation (Hart& M oore)
• Contractualallocation ofcontroland decisionsrights(e.g.Dessein
2005;Garleanu & Zwiebel2009)
• Bargaining powerand the dynam icsofdebtrenegotiation (M oraux
