Froot, Andre R. Jakurski Professor of Business Administration and Director of Research, Harvard Business School

Download or read book Money Interest and the Structure of Production written by Mateusz Machaj and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is macroeconomic equilibrium possible under capitalism? How do economic bubbles develop? How does a monetary system influence the market mechanism? Is the return on capital a beneficial feature of the economic system? How does complexity of a capitalist organization influence the market process? Can output under capitalism be easily measured and modeled? Such questions and many others relate to the central concept discussed in the book: heterogeneous structure of production, an envisioned theoretical connection between stages of the capitalist process. An inquiry into the functioning of a capital structure is necessary to understand the workings of the interest rate, savings, aggregate demand, and economic growth. Additionally it provides a theoretical framework to recognize consequences of monetary regimes and interest rate policies performed by the central banks. Capital structure concepts have their place at the center of economic theory as they can provide a broad range of insights into our understanding of the real world. Money, Interest, and the Structure of Production offers key insights in that direction.

Download or read book Examining Financial Puzzles from an Evolutionary Perspective written by Kenrick Guo and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, we examine some puzzles in finance from an evolutionary perspective. We first provide a literature review of evolutionary psychology, and discuss three main findings; the frequentist hypothesis, applications from risk-sensitive optimal foraging theory, and the cheater detection hypothesis. Next we introduce some of the most-researched puzzles in the finance literature. Examples include overreaction, loss aversion, and the equity premium puzzle. Following this, we discuss risk-sensitive optimal foraging theory further and examine some of the financial puzzles using the framework of risk-sensitive foraging. Finally, we develop a dynamic patch selection model which gives the patch selection strategy that maximizes an organism's long-run probability of survival. It is from this optimal patch strategy that we observe loss aversion. Throughout the thesis, we stress the following: humans' behavior in financial markets is neither inherently irrational, nor is it rational. Rather the puzzles occur as a consequence of evolutionarily-optimal cognitive mechanisms being utilized in environments other than the ancestral domain in which they evolved to adapt in.

Download or read book Puzzles and Paradoxes in Economics written by Mark Skousen and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1997-05-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economics is full of puzzles and paradoxes that often frustrate and challenge everyone, including economists. This engaging book includes fifty puzzles and focuses on three types of paradox. First, everyday observations that appear to belie common sense (such as why some supermarket items sell for more per ounce in larger sizes). Secondly, those paradoxes which have perplexed economists in the past but have since been fairly resolved (such as the diamond–water paradox). Finally, empirical or conceptual anomalies that remain unresolved and present a challenge to today’s economists (such as the voting paradox).

Download or read book A Unified Theory of Ten Financial Puzzles written by Xavier Gabaix and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper o?ers a unified explanation for a host of puzzles about stocks, bonds and exchange rates. It builds on the Barro-Rietz view, that risk premia come from the probability of macroeconomic crises or disasters, and adds a variable intensity of disaster that can be asset-specific. Agents have stochastic assessments (which can be rational or behavioral) about the fundamental value that their assets would have if a disaster occurred. The model appears to explain the following puzzles on stocks, bonds and exchange rates: (i) equity premium puzzle (ii) risk-free rate-puzzle (iii) excess volatility puzzle (the fact that equity prices are so volatile) (iv) value-growth puzzle ( stocks with high price-dividend ratios have abnormally low future future) (v) upward sloping nominal yield curve (vi) Fama-Bliss findings that a higher slope of the yield curves predicts higher risk premia on bond returns (vii) corporate bond spread puzzle (the spread between corporate and government bond rates are higher than warranted by the U.S. historical experience) (viii) counter cyclical equity premium (ix) characteristics vs covariance puzzles (simple numbers such as the price-dividend ratio of stocks predict future returns better that covariances with economic factors (x) partial predictability of aggregate stock market returns by price/dividend ratios, and the consumption-asset ratio has explanatory power for future returns (xi) high price of deep out-of the money puts, and, last but not least, (xii) forward exchange rate premium puzzle (a.k.a. uncovered interest rate parity puzzle). Using the recent technique of linearity-generating processes (Gabaix 2007), the model is very tractable, and all prices are in closed form. Finally, the paper proposes a specification that integrate rare disasters with a standard real business cycle economy. In that specification, rare disasters change the asset pricing implications of the model, while keeping its business cycle implications completely unchanged.
