The proposed research model from “Optimal Debt Contracts under Costly Enforcement” alters the original Costly State Verification (CSV) model introduced by Townsend (1979) by assuming that monitoring is non-contractible and non-deterministic. It emerges, from my analysis, that there are technical problems with the entrepreneur participation constraint. Particularly, the authors did not frame the principal optimization problem taking in to account a type-dependent participation constraint. To correct for this errors, I developed an adverse selection model that integrates the agent out-side opportunity utility. This approach opens up in to an interesting research turf on hypothetical creditors and debt market segmentation.
