Abstract

This article makes four points. First, it suggests regulation of entry into the finance profession, whose tasks would include prescribing? a portfolio choice for (financially) uninformed investors. Second, it suggests that the government should encourage information collection to help ensure informational efficiency of markets. Third, it introduces a new academic concept - optimal noise in financial markets. Fourth, in the context of financial intermediaries, 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.
