Supplement to "Calibrated Incentive Contracts"

This supplement provides several extensions as well as simulations illustrating key properties of calibrated contracts.  In particular, extensions show how to allow for time discounting, describe a broader class of high-liability contracts that can be successfully calibrated under limited liability, and explore contract performance when the agent isn't fully rational.

Supplement to "A Theory of Optimal Inheritance Taxation"

This appendix contains proofs omitted from the main text.
