Contingent capital: the trigger problem

Edward Prescott

Economic Quarterly, 2012, vol. 98, issue 1Q, 33-50

Abstract: In this article, we analyze price triggers in contingent capital bonds. We illustrate the pervasiveness of multiple equilibria and the nonexistence of equilibrium in theoretical models. We summarize evidence of these problems from market experiments and we evaluate possible solutions.
