Abstract: This dissertation contains four essays that apply techniques of learning and implicit contracts to the analysis of macroeconomic problems. The first essay explores the roleof borrowers reputation concerns on the magnification of macroeconomic crises. The second essay investigates the importance of financial frictions in delaying the recovery of economies after crises. The third essay (coauthored with David Lagakos) develops an implicit contract model to understand the differences in wage smoothing across industries. The fourth essay studies the effects of different signalling technologies in the efficiency of organizations with career concerned managers.
