- In Chapter 5 of Managerial Economics, Froeb discusses post-investment holdup as a sunk cost problem associated with contract-specific fixed investments. The modern theory of contracts is sometimes called the theory of joining wills, which simply means when parties make an agreement they are joining together to complete an endeavor of mutual interest. The problem with all contracts that endure over time is that not all potential challenges can be anticipated. The idea of joining wills is that parties will attempt to seek accommodations to advance their mutual interest, so long as the return on the invested activity pays off. Froeb illustrates the idea by the example of marriage as a contract. Review the three scenarios below. Look for which, if any, of these scenarios presents an example of post-investment holdup.

After a few weeks of searching for another full-time job, Sarah decided to go back to school to get an LPN certification. In order to finish as fast as possible, Sarah chose not to work while finishing the certification. Alicia took a part-time job in retail shortly after losing her job, but she continues to search diligently for full-time work. Philip searched for a job for the first five weeks after being laid off, but as bills began piling up, he found himself moving into his parents’ basement. He recently gave up looking for work because he figures that there just aren’t jobs available right now so there is no point looking. Are Sarah, Alicia, and Philip unemployed, employed, or not in the labor force? Would any of the three be considered a discouraged worker? How would each contribute to the unemployment rate?arrow_forwardAlthough Goldman Sachs paid Heather $110,000.00 per year, she was not satisfied with her job.

During the summer, she takes families on different white-water trips, and in the winter, she leads clients on skiing trips.

Joan is Sylvie's twin sister, who moved to Quebec when she was 18 to go to Concordia and has been there since. Both know that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) are contributory pension plans that you receive based on the dollar value of contributions and the number of years that you contribute to the plan during your employment years.
