Securitization and Aggregate Investment Efficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the efficiency of competitive equilibria in economies where the expansion of investment is facilitated by securitization. We show that the use of securitization is generally associated with constrained inefficient aggregate investment, thereby justifying regulatory intervention in markets for securitized assets. We examine the effectiveness of three policy instruments to address this inefficiency: ex-ante capital / leverage requirements, skin-in-the game (retention) requirements and initiatives to improve transparency in the securitization process. We find that leverage/capital restrictions and improved transparency can increase welfare in our environment, but that forcing originators to hold additional skin-in-the game can never increase welfare.

Optimum Aggregate Inventory for Scheduling Multi-product Single Machine System with Zero Setup Time
In this paper we adopt the common cycle approach to economic lot scheduling problem and minimize the maximum aggregate inventory. We allow the occurrence of the idle times between any two consecutive products and consider limited capital for investment in inventory. We assume the setup times are negligible. To achieve the optimal investment in inventory we first find the idle times which minimi...

متن کاملReturn on Investment after Implementation of a Centralized Automated Storage System in a Hospital Pharmacy
An ADS (automated dispensing system) was implemented in our hospital pharmacy in 2008 to optimize and secure the medication process. The main objective of this study was to compare the projected and the real ROI (return on investment), after seven years of use. ROI was calculated annually (from 2008 to 2015), by deducting the cost of investment (ADS buying and implementation, maintenance, repai...
متن کاملSecuritization of Catastrophe Mortality Risks
Securitization with payments linked to explicit mortality events provides a new investment opportunity to investors and financial institutions. Moreover, mortalitylinked securities provide an alternative risk management tool for insurers. As a step toward understanding these securities, we develop an asset pricing model for mortality-based securities in an incomplete market framework with jump ...
متن کاملCredibility in carbon policy
Carbon policy faces an intractable trade-off: while credible commitment to future policy improves the dynamic efficiency of incentives it imposes costs in form of reduced flexibility to respond to changing circumstances. Investors favor long-term stability of the regulatory regime. But considerable uncertainty prevails, resulting in increased market risks and investment hold-up. Uncertainty ste...
