Concentrated Ownership and Equilibrium Asset Prices ∗
Investors can choose to hold diversified or levered, concentrated portfolios of risky assets. This paper studies the dynamics of asset prices in an economy in which both investment styles coexist in equilibrium even though all agents are ex-ante identical. I capture the tradeoff between risk sharing and productivity gains by introducing what I call “active capital.” People who participate in su...
متن کاملAsset Management Contracts and Equilibrium Prices
We study the joint determination of fund managers’ contracts and equilibrium asset prices. Because of agency frictions, investors make managers’ fees more sensitive to performance and benchmark performance against a market index. This makes managers unwilling to deviate from the index and exacerbates price distortions. Because trading against overvaluation exposes managers to greater risk of de...
متن کاملEquilibrium Asset Prices under Imperfect Corporate Control
Shareholders have imperfect control over the decisions of the management of a firm. We integrate a widely accepted version of the separation of owership and control — Jensen’s (1986) free cash flow theory — into a dynamic equilibrium model and study the effect of imperfect corporate control on asset prices and investment. We assume that firms are run by empire-building managers who prefer to in...
متن کاملEquilibrium models with singular asset prices
General equilibrium models in which economic agents have finite marginal utility from consumption at the origin lead to financial assets whose prices are continuous but exhibit singular components. In particular, there is no bona—fide "interest rate" in such models, although asset prices can be determined by equilibrium considerations (and uniquely, up to the formation of mutual funds). The sin...
متن کاملNonlinear Taxation, Tax Arbitrage and Equilibrium Asset Prices
This paper investigates the equilibrium implications of the presence of nonlinearly taxed, redundant securities, and of the resulting tax arbitrage opportunities. Heterogeneity in taxation leads to discrepancies in assets' pre-tax market prices of risk. We show that this mispricing is set so that agents e®ectively cooperate to minimize aggregate taxes, even though individually each agent may no...
