Optimal Taxation And Impure Public Goods, Matthew J. Mcmahon Mar 2015

Optimal Taxation And Impure Public Goods, Matthew J. Mcmahon

Economics & Finance Faculty Publications

It has been shown that the introduction of a good that has portions of both private and public characteristics (an impure public good) can actually decrease the total level of the public characteristic provided. Using the standard impure public good model, I first isolate the conditions under which this occurs in a general equilibrium. I then introduce a central planner whose goal is to counteract this decrease. She chooses a tax rate for the purely private good, and spends the tax revenue generated to increase the provision of the public characteristic. In choosing the optimal tax rate, she minimizes the …

Reputation Concerns And Slow-Moving Capital, Steven G. Malliaris, Hongjun Yan Mar 2015

Reputation Concerns And Slow-Moving Capital, Steven G. Malliaris, Hongjun Yan

College of Business Faculty and Staff Works

Our paper shows that fund managers' reputation concerns induce a preference over the skewness of strategy returns. This preference is non-monotonic in the manager's reputation level: While managers with average reputations prefer negatively skewed strategies, those with very high or very low reputations prefer the opposite. Our model also explains why only negatively skewed strategies tend to suffer from slow-moving capital: A subtle but natural consequence of adopting negatively skewed strategies is that after poor performance, managers' reputations recover slowly. In the meantime, they are unable to raise capital, leaving attractive opportunities unexploited.
