Securitization, Transparency, and Liquidity
研究了资产支持证券发行者为何选择披露粗略信息以提升一级市场流动性,却牺牲二级市场流动性,并分析了不同公共干预措施的福利效应。
We present a model in which issuers of asset-backed securities choose to release coarse information to enhance the liquidity of their primary market, at the cost of reducing secondary market liquidity. The degree of transparency is inefficiently low if the social value of secondary market liquidity exceeds its private value. We show that various types of public intervention (mandatory transparency standards, provision of liquidity to distressed banks, or secondary market price support) have quite different welfare implications. Finally, we extend the model by endogenizing the private and social value of liquidity and the proportion of sophisticated investors. The Author 2012.
