Abstract

This paper makes four points. First , it introduces a new ‘academic’ concept—optimal noise in financial markets. Second , it suggests that the government intervenes to take care of the problem of ‘free ride’ in financial markets. Third , it suggests regulation of entry into the finance profession, whose tasks would include ‘prescribing’ a portfolio choice for (financially) uninformed investors. Fourth , given that deposit insurance, lender of last resort, capital adequacy and supervision of banks are in place, there is no need to impose the following beyond reasonable prudential norms: (a) cash reserve ratio requirement, (b) statutory liquidity ratio requirement and (c) barriers to entry.
