Equilibrium in a Stock Market Economy with Shareholder Voting
证明了一个两期股票市场经济中股东均衡的存在性,其中证券数量可能少于世界状态数,均衡通过股东投票和股票交易两种机制共同实现。
This paper demonstrates the existence of a shareholders' equilibrium for a two-period stock-market economy in which there may be fewer securities than states of the world. There are two allocation mechanisms in the economy: firms' owners may vote (direction restricted majority rule) to change firms' production plans across states while keeping shareholdings fixed, and individuals may trade their shares and stocks of a current production/consumption good while keeping firms' plans fixed. A shareholders' equilibrium is a set of firms' plans, and an allocation of shares and the current good which are stable with respect to both mechanisms.
