We revisit the optimal exit problem by adding a moral hazard problem where a firm owner contracts out with an agent to run a project. We analyse the optimal contracting problem between the owner and the agent in a Brownian framework, when the latter modifies the project cash-flows with an hidden action. The analysis leads to the resolution of a constrained optimal stopping problem that we solve explicitly.

This is joint work with P. Caputo and D. Chafai. In this talk, we
will consider various probability distributions on the set of stochastic
 matrices with n states and on the set of Laplacian/Kirchhoff
matrices on n states. They will arise naturally from the conductance model on
n states with i.i.d conductances. With the help of random matrix
theory, we will study the spectrum of these processes.
