摘要
This study explores the welfare implications of mitigating investment uncertainty in the context of Easley and O'Hara (Rev Financ Stud 22:1817-1843, 2009) While one may expect welfare gains by encouraging participation in financial markets by ambiguity-averse investors, we formally show that it hurts other investors and thus is not Pareto-improving without appropriate income transfers. We also examine the welfare effects of income redistribution among heterogeneous investors and government spending on investor education.
