Financial Markets

Financial Markets

Main theme is societies' dependency on capital markets and capital market institutions to facilitate orderly transfers of savings from surplus-spending units ('savers') to deficit-spending units ('borrowers') undertaking real investments.

The process allows for desynchronization (ie. separation) of income from consumption across time and economic states of nature, as well. Firms' issuance of debt and equity is in this context rationalized as contributing towards market completeness allowing risk-adverse investors to diversify their holdings of securities with unique, state-dependent payoffs, and thus consumption, across time and economic states.
