摘要
Recently, Aghion and Bolton (American Economic Review, 1987, 77, 388-401) have shown that liquidated damages can serve as a barrier to entry and may therefore be socially harmful. In this paper I show that liquidated damages remain excessive and continue to serve as a barrier to entry even in the presence of relationship-specific investment, but may nevertheless have an overall positive effect on welfare.
