Description

Inside and Outside Liquidity by Bengt Holmstrom and Jean Tirole offers a unified perspective on the demand for and supply of liquid assets. This theory explains why financial institutions, industrial companies, and households hold low-yielding money balances and other liquid assets. The authors show how imperfect pledgeability of corporate income leads to both a demand for and a shortage of liquidity, with significant implications for asset pricing, investment decisions, and liquidity management. The government's role in improving risk-sharing between consumers and firms is also explored. This book provides an original analysis of the factors that contribute to financial crises, including the current global market conditions.
