Here I parse the fairy tale and then set the stage for the future of institutional investing. Freed of the misperception that maintaining several asset-class silos is necessary to achieve efficient diversification, institutional investors will begin to simplify asset allocation. Implicit here is the understanding that alternative investments are purely active strategies. Their role in the portfolio is more transitory than that of stocks and bonds, which are the essential building blocks of efficient diversification. Over time, we can expect to see fewer, more comprehensive asset classes; allocators becoming more discriminating in their choice of individual alt investments; and lesser allocations to alternative investments overall. Successful allocators will use many fewer managers and incur lower costs. There really is no other way forward.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122046237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Productivity is uncertain prior to hire with recruiter beliefs characterized by an expectation and variance. Delegation occurs using a refund contract which is common in the industry. We analyze how delegation in this setting shapes search behavior and the composition of hires. We demonstrate that delegation is theoretically equivalent to making the search technology less accurate. This generates inefficiency: search effort and social surplus are lower under delegation than in the first-best benchmark. We show this inefficiency is driven by moral hazard with a multitasking flavor. The recruiter wastes search effort finding low variance workers at the expense of high expectation workers. As a result, as workers become more homogeneous with respect to productivity variance, delegation becomes more efficient. Our model provides a microfoundation for variance-based statistical discrimination.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116987963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the investor aims to maximize the worst-case scenario of his/her consumption-investment objective, we propose a dual approach to the robust optimization problem in a dual economy with risk ambiguity. Using the G-expectation framework, we establish the duality theorem to bridge between the primal problem with return ambiguity and the dual problem with risk ambiguity, and hence characterize the robust strategy for a general class of utility functions subject to the non-negative consumption rate and wealth constraints. The risk ambiguity in the dual problem induces correlation ambiguity when the primal economy comprises multiple risky assets with return ambiguity. By analyzing the dual economy, we show that the robust investment strategy favors a sparse portfolio, in addition to its usual feature---having the least exposure to ambiguity risk.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129986999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the two asset types are interdependent, and investment in attached assets affects investment in movable assets through changing the farm infrastructure. I develop a conceptual model to explain why tenure insecurity incentivizes a farm to under-invest in attached assets and over-invest in low-efficiency movable assets. Simulations based on the model suggest that the sub-optimal investment results in considerable economic loss. The findings have important policy implications regarding land reforms and farm infrastructure in developing economies.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127878927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, I exploit a reform in the regulatory discount curve that made the liabilities more sensitive to changes in the 20-year interest rate but less so to longer maturity rates. Following the reform, P&Is reduced their longest maturity holdings but increased those with maturities close to 20 years. The aggregate demand shift led to a steepening of the long-end of the yield curve with lower yields around 20-year maturities and higher yields at longer maturities. Similar effects on yields appear in a large panel of European countries after EU insurance regulations implemented the same regulatory reform. My findings have important policy implications, as they indicate that the regulatory framework of long-term investors directly affects the governments’ cost of borrowing.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132283577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our asset pricing equilibrium mechanism provides the first plausible theoretical foundation for the recent empirical findings showing that the risk premium, volatility, and Sharpe ratio on short-term dividend strips are higher than long-term dividend strips. These findings are at odds with the leading equilibrium asset pricing models, such as long-run risk, external habit formation, and rare disaster risk models. Our continuous-time setup admits precise closed-form expressions. We provide novel empirical evidence to support other model predictions.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123745630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper investigates whether and how benchmarking can influence firms' product market outcomes and provide a competitive advantage to large firms. I compile an investor-firm-product-household match micro-level dataset. Exploiting quasi-experimental variation in the investor composition, I show that after an increase in benchmark-constrained investors, firms (i) reduce product prices, especially for products with lower market share, (ii) generate higher sales, but at the cost of lower profitability, and (iii) introduce new products and diversify. The reduction in prices expands the product affordability of low-income households. In addition, I provide evidence that benchmark-constrained investors influence product markets by reducing firms' equity issuance costs. Using a model with product-level habits, I show that firms lower their product prices and forgo current profits in favor of higher market share in response to the reduction in the equity issuance cost. Results suggest that benchmarking can expand product choices for low-income households but potentially at the threat of higher market concentration.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128837253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

COVID-19 has influenced trading patterns in the capital market, both in terms of trade rules that are superstructure and capital market infrastructure itself.

The moment of capital outrage at the moment is like a honeymoon in stock trading that occurs during an extreme event. Some events that have caused the world capital market to fall deeply, are the Black Tuesday 1988, the monetary crisis in Indonesia and Asia in 1998, the global financial crisis in 2008, and most recently the pandemic COVID-19 phenomenon that began in 2020.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a valuable option worldwide, but credit risk is high. To encourage investors, P2P platforms use blockchain and the option of crypto as collateral. This study examines lender views on crypto and options to effectively support financial literacy and inclusion. It considers 663 pro-social lending decisions by finance students on a mock P2P site where testimonials conditioned participants towards pro-social decision making. After making three lending decisions, participants were asked about changes in the case of different collaterals. Overall, pro-social P2P lenders find crypto riskier than traditional collateral. More specifically, loan applications can be funded more quickly with a pledge of 20% in traditional collateral but not in crypto assets or crypto currency. Furthermore, loan popularity among other lenders also persuades investors, and lender projections of financial literacy influence decision confidence, unlike traditional collateral. Thus, crypto collateral options in P2P platforms do not seem to support financial inclusion. However, upcoming more stable digital currencies backed by central banks are arguably more likely to be considered reliable collateral. This would effectively democratize P2P lending provided there is behavioral financial literacy as well.","PeriodicalId":284021,"journal":{"name":"International Political Economy: Investment & Finance eJournal","volume":"93 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120856387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
