Abstract

This paper argues that the strategic use of debt favours the revelation of information in Dynamic adverse selection problems. Our argument is based on the idea that debt is a credible commitment to end long term relationships. Consequently, debt debt encourages a privately informed party to disclose its information at at early stages of a relationship. We illustrate our point with the finiancingndecisionof a monopolist selling a good to a buyer whose valuationis private information.
