Profitability, investment, and efficiency wages
We examine a model that blends the neoclassical theory of investment with an intertemporal efficiency wage model with turnover costs. Investment decisions in capital are associated with the allocation of labor and the determination of efficiency wages. The model relates Tobin’s q to efficiency wages and, in particular, to the Solow condition. It provides a general framework to analyze firm’s in...
متن کاملSecuritization and Aggregate Investment Efficiency
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 addr...

We examine how aggregate output and income distribution interact with accumulation of intangible capital over time and across individuals. We consider an overlapping generations economy in which managerial skill (intangible capital) is essential for production, and it is acquired by young workers through on-the-job training by old managers. We show that, when young trainees are not committed to...
متن کاملCan Investment in Intangibles Explain the Swedish Productivity Boom in the 1990s?

This paper offers an alternative view, emphasizing instead firms’ substantial investment in intangible...
متن کاملThe Efficiency of Investment Information
We investigate how the description of a correlated information V improves the investment in the stock market X . The objective is to maximize the growth rate of wealth in repeated investments. We find a single-letter characterization of the incremental growth rate (R), the maximum increase in growth rate when V is described to the investor at rate R. The incremental growth rate specialized to t...
