On the Role of Financial Markets and Institutions
Chapter 1 considers the role played by the financial system in the economic life of a society. In general terms, a financial system allows for the income and consumption (or, in the case of firms, investment) streams of economic agents to be desynchronized; that is, made less similar, across both time periods and states of nature (uncertain events). We consider how the functioning of the financial system can have substantial consequences of the growth of an economy and for its business cycle properties.

1.1 Finance: The Time Dimension
Why do we need financial markets and institutions? We choose to address this question as our introduction to this text on financial theory. In doing so, we touch on some of the most difficult issues in finance and introduce concepts that will eventually require extensive development. Our purpose here is to phrase this question as an appropriate background for the study of the more technical issues that will occupy us at length. We also want to introduce some important elements of the necessary terminology. We ask the reader’s patience as most of the sometimes difficult material introduced here will be taken up in more detail in the following chapters.
Fundamentally, a financial system is a set of institutions and markets permitting the exchange of contracts and the provision of services for the purpose of allowing the income and consumption streams of economic agents to be desynchronized—i.e., made less similar. It can, in fact, be argued that indeed the primary function of the financial system is to permit such desynchronization. There are two dimensions to this function: the time dimension and the risk dimension. Let us start with time. Why is it useful to disassociate consumption and income across time? Two reasons come immediately to mind. First, and somewhat trivially, income is typically received at discrete dates, say monthly, while it is customary to wish to consume continuously (i.e., every day).
Second, and more importantly, consumption spending defines a standard of living, and most individuals find it difficult to alter their standard of living from month to month or even from year to year. There is a general, if not universal, desire for a smooth consumption stream. Because it deeply affects everyone, the most important manifestation of this desire is the need to save (consumption smaller than income) for retirement so as to permit a consumption stream in excess of income (dissaving) after retirement begins. The life-cycle patterns of income generation and consumption spending are not identical, and the latter must be created from the former. The same considerations apply to shorter horizons. Seasonal patterns of consumption and income, for example, need not be identical. Certain individuals (car salespersons, department store salespersons, construction workers) may experience variations in income arising from seasonal events (e.g., most new cars are purchased in the spring and summer; construction activity is much reduced in winter), which they do not like to see transmitted to their ability to consume. There is also the problem created by temporary layoffs due to variation in aggregate economic activity that we refer to as business cycle fluctuations. While they are temporarily laid off and without substantial income, workers do not want their family’s consumption to be severely reduced (Box 1.1).
Box 1.1
Representing Preference for Smoothness
The preference for a smooth consumption stream has a natural counterpart in the form of the utility function, U( ), which is typically used to represent the relative benefit a consumer receives from a specific consumption bundle. Suppose the representative individual consumes a single consumption good (or a basket of goods) in each of two periods, now and tomorrow. Let c1 denote today’s consumption level and c2 tomorrow’s, and let U(c1)+U(c2) represent the level of utility (benefit) obtained from a given consumption stream (c1, c2).
Preference for consumption smoothness must mean, for instance, that the consumption stream (c1,c2)=(4,4) is preferred to the alternative (c1, c2)=(3, 5), or
(4)+U(4)>U(3)+U(5)
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2, this implies
(4)>12U(3)+12U(5)
As shown in Figure 1.1, when generalized to all possible alternative consumption pairs, this property implies that the function U(·) has the rounded shape that we associate with the term strict concavity.
Figure 1.1 A strictly concave utility representation.
Furthermore, and this is quite crucial for the growth process, some people—entrepreneurs, in particular—are willing to accept a relatively small income (but not necessarily consumption!) for an initial period of time in exchange for the prospect of high returns (and presumably high income) in the future. They are operating a sort of arbitrage over time. This does not disprove their desire for smooth consumption; rather, they see opportunities that lead them to accept what is formally a low-income level initially against the prospect of a much higher income level later (followed by a zero income level when they retire). They are investors who, typically, do not have enough liquid assets to finance their projects and, as a result, need to raise capital by borrowing or by selling shares.
Indeed, the first key element in finance is time. In a timeless world, there would be no assets, no financial transactions (although money would be used, it would have only a transaction function), and no financial markets or institutions. The very notion of a security (a financial contract) implies a time dimension.
Asset holding permits the desynchronization of consumption and income streams. The peasant putting aside seeds, the miser burying his gold, or the grandmother putting a few hundred dollar bills under her mattress are all desynchronizing their consumption and income, and in doing so, presumably seeking a higher level of well-being for themselves. A fully developed financial system should also have the property of fulfilling this same function efficiently. By that we mean that the financial system should provide versatile and diverse instruments to accommodate the widely differing needs of savers and borrowers insofar as size (many small lenders, a few big borrowers), timing, and maturity of loans (how to finance long-term projects with short-term money), and the liquidity characteristics of instruments (precautionary saving cannot be tied up permanently). In other words, the elements composing the financial system should aim at matching the diverse financing needs of different economic agents as perfectly as possible.
1.2 Desynchronization: The Risk Dimension
We have argued that time is of the essence in finance. When we talk of the importance of time in economic decisions, we think in particular of the relevance of choices involving the present versus the future. But the future is, by its very nature, uncertain: financial decisions with implications (payouts) in the future are necessarily risky. Time and risk are inseparable. This is why risk is the second key word in finance.
For the moment, let us compress the time dimension into the setting of a “Now and Then” (present versus future) economy. The typical individual is motivated by the desire to smooth consumption between “Now” and “Then.” This implies a desire to identify consumption opportunities that are as similar as possible among the different possibilities that may arise “Then.” In other words, ceteris paribus—most individuals would like to guarantee their family the same standard of living whatever events transpire tomorrow: whether they are sick or healthy, unemployed or working, confronted with bright or poor investment opportunities, fortunate or hit by unfavorable accidental events.1 This characteristic of preferences is generally described as “aversion to risk.”
A productive way to start thinking about this issue is to introduce the notion of states of nature or states of the world. A state of nature is a complete description of a possible scenario for the future across all the dimensions relevant for the...
