Abstract T he return of capital is fundamental to the intertemporal allocation of resources by changing the consumption behavior and capital accumulation over time. Taxation on return of capital increases the marginal product of capital, meaning that capital stock is lower than when capital is not taxed, which results decreased growth and welfare in steady state. This pape...

A new wave of bank privatizations in the past decade has significantly changed the ownership structure of banking systems around the world. This paper explores how these changes affect the allocation of capital within countries. We show that the decline in government ownership of banks has a different impact on capital allocation efficiency, depending on whether foreigners or large domestic sha...

Although theoretically necessary, social capital is not considered within the process of asset allocation for private investors. Both the lack of appropriate practical valuation concepts and the effort of providing and processing the required information as input for a valuation were obstacles to include social capital in this process. However, first theoretical financial models for the evaluat...

This study uses property/liability insurance industry as research sample to examine how risk management, financial management, and capital management are related to each another, thereby reflecting such interactions in the managerial decisions in the choice of derivative and reinsurance use, in the allocation of asset risks, in the determination of underwriting activities as well as liability r...

This article investigates how the job histories of CEOs influence their capital allocation decisions when they preside over multidivisional firms. I find that, after CEO turnover, divisions not previously affiliated with the new CEO receive significantly more capital expenditures than divisions through which the new CEO has advanced. The pattern of reverse-favoritism in capital allocation is mo...

Because contemporary growth theory has focused upon models with a single capital good,' allocation of investment in the dynamic capitalist economy had been uninvestigated until Professor Hahn's recent contribution.2 Hahn shows that an economy with several capital goods faces two crucial problems: (1) The growth path may be indeterminate. (2) Not all paths will converge to balanced growth. He co...

We investigate the optimal design of bank regulation by developing a tractable general equilibrium model of competitive banks who are exposed to idiosyncratic and aggregate risk. A comparison of the autarkic equilibrium allocations with the efficient allocations reveals that the autarkic economy underinvests in production when aggregate risk is below a threshold, but overinvests in production w...

This document contains supplemental materials for “Constrained Efficiency in a Human Capital Model ”. We discuss the implementation of the constrained efficient allocation, formally analyze the effects of consumption poor household’s relative income sources on pecuniary externalities, provide a further sensitivity analysis, and discuss the effects of the time investment model and the effects of...
