A Moral Hazard Trap to Growth
研究投资部门信息不对称导致的道德风险如何限制金融安排,使长期竞争均衡收入依赖历史,并探讨资本流动下政府的帕累托改进干预。
This paper studies the consequences of asymmetric information in the investment sector upon economic growth. In this paper, the information asymmetry generates a moral hazard problem. This moral hazard problem restricts financial arrangements. It is shown that these restrictions make even the long-run competitive equilibrium income dependent upon history. This result also holds in case there is perfect capital mobility. However, when there is capital mobility, the government may be able to intervene in a Pareto improving way.
