We characterize optimal asset management contracts in a classic portfolio‐investment setting. When the agent has access to hidden savings, his incentives to misbehave depend on his precautionary saving motive. The contract dynamically distorts the agent's access to capital to manipulate his precautionary saving motive and reduce incentives for misbehavior. We provide a sufficient condition for the validity of the first‐order approach, which holds in the optimal contract: global incentive compatibility is ensured if the agent's precautionary saving motive weakens after bad outcomes. We extend our results to incorporate market risk, hidden investment, and renegotiation.

We explore the conditions under which the “first‐order approach” (FO approach) can be used to characterize profit maximizing contracts in dynamic principal–agent models. The FO approach works when the resulting FO‐optimal contract satisfies a particularly strong form of monotonicity in types, a condition that is satisfied in most of the solved examples studied in the literature. The main result of our paper is to show that except for nongeneric choices of the stochastic process governing the types' evolution, monotonicity and, more generally, incentive compatibility are necessarily violated by the FO‐optimal contract if the frequency of interactions is sufficiently high (or, equivalently, if the discount factor, time horizon, and persistence in types are sufficiently large). This suggests that the applicability of the FO approach is problematic in environments in which expected continuation values are important relative to per period payoffs. We also present conditions under which a class of incentive compatible contracts that can be easily characterized is approximately optimal.

AbstractConsider the nonlinear neutral equationwhere pi(t), hi(t), gj(t), Q(t) Є C[t0, ∞), limt→∞hi(t) = ∞, limt→∞gj(t) = ∞ i Є Im = {1, 2, …, m}, j Є In = {1, 2, …, n}. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition (2) for this equation to have a nonoscillatory solution x(t) with limt→∞ inf|x(t)| > 0 (Theorems 5 and 6) or to have a bounded nonoscillatory solution x(t) with limt→∞ inf|x(t)| > 0 (Theorem 7).

This study aims to analyze the comparative financial performance of Islamic Banking with Conventional Banking (Shariah Business Unit) for each financial ratio and overall. The measurements of banking performance were used in this study are CAMELS ratios (Capital, Asset, Management, Earnings, Liquidity, and Sensitivity to Market Risk). This study uses 11 Shariah Banks and 12 Shariah Business Unit in 2012. This study shows that there are no differences between Shariah Banks and Shariah Business Unit in Capital Adequacy Ratio and Ratio Quality of Earning Asset, but there are differences in Management Ratio, Profitability Ratio, Liquidity Ratio, and Sensitivity Ratio in each and overall.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa perbandingan kinerja keuanganperbankan syariah yaitu Bank Umum Syari ah (BUS) dengan Bank Konvensional dari Unit Usaha Syariah (UUS) untuk masing-masing rasio keuangan dan secara keseluruhan. Ukuran kinerja bank yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rasio keuangan bank CAMELS (Capital, Asset, Management, Earnings, Liquidity, sensitivity to market risk), yang meliputi Capital Adequacy Ratio (mewakili rasio permodalan), pembentukan penyisihan penghapusan aktiva produktif (mewakili rasio kualitas aktiva produktif), Net Profit Margin/NPM(mewakili rasio manajemen), Return on Assets (ROA), Loan to Deposit Ratio (mewakili rasio likuiditas) dan Interest Rate Risk Ratio (mewakili rasio Sensitivitas terhadap Risiko Pasar).Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah purposive sampling yang merupakan teknik pengambilan sampel dengan pertimbangan atau kriteria tertentu. Sampel yang dipergunakan peneliti adalah11 Bank Umum Syariah (BUS) dan 12 Unit Usaha Syariah (UUS) yang memiliki kelengkapan laporan keuangan tahun 2012 yang berupa neraca, laporan laba rugi, komitmen dan kontinjensi, kualitas aktiva produktif dan informasi lainnya, perhitungan kewajiban penyediaan modal minimum (KPMM). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, analisis uji beda rata-rata t-Test memperlihatkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kinerja keuangan perbankan syariah pada Bank Umum Syariah (BUS) dengan perbankan konvensional yang mempunyai Unit Usaha Syariah (UUS) jika dilihat dari rasio permodalan (CAR) dan rasio kualitas aktiva produktif (PPAP). Ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kinerja keuangan perbankan syariah (Bank Umum Syariah) dengan perbankan konvensional yang mempunyai Unit Usaha Syariah (UUS) jika dilihat dari rasio manajemen (NPM), rasio profitabilitas (ROA), rasio likuiditas (LDR), dan rasio sensitifitas terhadap reaksi pasar-Interest Rate Risk Ratio (IRRR), serta jika dilakukan analisis secara keseluruhan kinerja keuangan perbankan syariah.

In this paper, we study the relationship between Cartan's second curvature tensor $P_{jkh}^{i}$ and $(h) hv-$torsion tensor $C_{jk}^{i}$ in sense of Berwald. Moreover, we discuss the necessary and sufficient condition for some tensors which satisfy a recurrence property in $BC$-$RF_{n}$, $P2$-Like-$BC$-$RF_{n}$, $P^{\ast }$-$BC$-$RF_{n}$ and $P$-reducible-$BC-RF_{n}$.

A sufficient condition for the uniqueness of the Nth order normal form is provided. A new grading function is proposed and used to prove the uniqueness of the first-order normal forms of generalized Hopf singularities. Recursive formulas for computation of coefficients of unique normal forms of generalized Hopf singularities are also presented.

In the paper, we examine the dependence of the solution of the deterministic mean field game on the initial distribution of players. The main object of study is the mapping which assigns to the initial time and the initial distribution of players the set of expected rewards of the representative player corresponding to solutions of mean field game. This mapping can be regarded as a value multifunction. We obtain the sufficient condition for a multifunction to be a value multifunction. It states that if a multifunction is viable with respect to the dynamics generated by the original mean field game, then it is a value multifunction. Furthermore, the infinitesimal variant of this condition is derived.
