Imperfect capital markets, income distribution and the choice of external finance: A financial equilibrium approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop and analyze a simple financial equilibrium model with capital market imperfections. We allow agents to choose on which side of the market they participate. We also allow for the co-existence of bank loans and direct finance. Our findings suggest that financial development depends on both the initial level of aggregate wealth and its distribution among the agents in the economy. We also identify a number of new issues that can potentially be addressed by following our financial equilibrium approach. © 2006 Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. All rights reserved.

متن کاملIntertemporal equilibrium with financial asset and physical capital
We build an infinite-horizon dynamic deterministic general equilibrium model with imperfect markets (because of borrowing constraints), in which heterogeneous agents invest in capital or/and financial asset, and consume. There is a representative firm who maximizes its profit. Firstly, the existence of intertemporal equilibrium is proved even if aggregate capital is not uniformly bounded. Secon...
متن کاملFinancial Contractibility and Assets’ Hardness: Industrial Composition and Growth*
One salient characteristic of poorly developed capital markets is the excessive weight they give to the availability of hard assets in the allocation of financial funds. Where external finance contractibility is poor, higher proportions of assets that more easily remain with investors if the relationship breaks down are used in order to sustain external finance. Consistent with this view, I sho...
