Improving public equity markets? No pain, no gain

Author

Listed:
  • Kartashova, Katya
Abstract
This paper uses an open-economy extension of Angeletos (2007) to study the effects of reducing public equity costs. The experiment is disciplined with firm-level and aggregate data for Ecuador and Chile. Lower equity costs improve aggregates, but entrepreneurs suffer a loss.
