A Methodological Note on Measuring the Functional Efficiency of Capital Markets

Johan Eklund () and Sameeksha Desai ()

No 121, Ratio Working Papers from The Ratio Institute

Abstract: We apply the accelerator principle to measure the functional efficiency of capital markets. We estimate the elasticity of capital with respect to output using a panel of firms across 44 countries, and compare the results with existing approaches. Furthermore, we correlate our measure with corporate governance institutions.
