A recent high school graduate, who knows whether or not he is talented, has the option of spending a year traveling overseas or enrolling at college (we will assume that he or she cannot do both) before applying for a job. An employer seeking to fill a job opening cannot know whether or not a job applicant is talented; all he knows is that the applicant either went to college or traveled overseas.

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. The idea of joining wills is that parties will attempt to seek accommodations to advance their mutual interest, so long as the return on the invested activity pays off. Froeb illustrates the idea by the example of marriage as a contract. Review the three scenarios below. Look for which, if any, of these scenarios presents an example of post-investment holdup.
