摘要/Abstract:

Motivated by China's hybrid economy, we explore how state interventions may complement or interfere with private firms' investment and information acquisition decisions. In our model, the government chooses public investment based on its private, noisy signal and a market-based signal about economic fundamentals. Firms allocate their limited attention to acquiring information about the fundamental and/or the noise in the government’s signal. When the government's investment response to its signal is modest, firms focus on acquiring information about the fundamental, allowing market-based information discovery to inform both the government's and the firms' decisions. However, when the government’s response is sufficiently strong, it can divert firms' attention towards learning only the government noise. Interestingly, a modest divergence in the government’s objective from market participants’, possibly because of internal agency frictions, can prompt the government to choose to dominate the market rather than allow it to perform its role in information discovery.
