Abstract:
|
We consider economies with incomplete markets, one good per
state, private ownership of initial endowments, a single
firm, and no assets other than shares in this firm. In this
simple framework, arbitrarily small income effects can render
every market equilibrium resulting from some production
decision constrained inefficient. Thus, even if all utility
functions are approximately quasilinear, the stock market can
be unable to achieve a constrained efficient allocation given
the agents' characteristics. Moreover, the phenomenon
persists when the efficiency requirements are substantially
weakened.
