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.

You are consultant at large international consultancy (“PharmCons”), specialized in consulting firms in the pharmaceutical industry. PharmCons has its Asian-Pacific headquarter in Singapore. Dr. Lee, the CEO of a newly established Singaporean pharmaceutical firm (“SinPharm”), which owns the protected patent for vaccine for Dengue-fever, approaches PharmCons.
