Abstract

We analyze the consequences of noisy information aggregation for investment. Market imperfections create endogenous rents that cause overinvestment in up-side risks and underinvestment in downside risks. In partial equilibrium, these inefficiencies are particularly severe if upside risks are coupled with easy scalabil-ity of investment. In general equilibrium, the shareholders’ collective attempts to boost value of individual firms leads to a novel externality operating through price that amplifies investment distortions with downside risks but offsets dis-tortions with upside risks.
