Asia-Pacific Industrial Organisation Conference (APIOC) 2025 12-14 December 2025 at the University of Queensland, Brisbane
Program of Session 3E: Theory: Dynamic Games and Contracts
Session Block 3 on Saturday, December 13, at 10:30am
Abstract of paper "Hybrid Contracting in Repeated Interactions" Many business relationships begin with informal interactions and later transition to formal contracts. Using a repeated-games model with a finite horizon, we show that this hybrid-contracting approach can both prolong cooperation (intensive margin) and enable it across a broader range of settings (extensive margin). We model the contract as a "smooth-landing contract" that limits actions only near the end of the relationship. We show that this flexible design supports early cooperation and outperforms rigid contracts. Our findings are robust to changes in contracting costs and timing, with optimal contract length balancing profitability and implementability.
