Economic Theory

Economics aims to explain how economies work and how economic agents interact. Economic analysis is applied throughout society, in business, finance and government, but also in crime, education, the family, health, law, politics, religion, social institutions, war, and science. At the turn of the 21st century, the expanding domain of economics in the social sciences has been described as economic imperialism.

Common distinctions are drawn between various dimensions of economics. The primary textbook distinction is between microeconomics, which examines the behavior of basic elements in the economy, including individual markets and agents (such as consumers and firms, buyers and sellers), and macroeconomics, which addresses issues affecting an entire economy, including unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and monetary and fiscal policy. Other distinctions include: between positive economics (describing "what is") and normative economics (advocating "what ought to be"); between economic theory and applied economics; between mainstream economics (more "orthodox" dealing with the "rationality-individualism-equilibrium nexus") and heterodox economics (more "radical" dealing with the "institutions-history-social structure nexus"); and between rational and behavioral economics.

Is there an economic theory that quantifies the excessive pay in the financial industry?
Q. Everyone seems to agree that exorbitant pay on Wall Street feels quite unfair. A grandma would say "because they are close to money". I would would argue that they are making money more efficient, and therefore they in the same business as the money press (hmm... why not allow the folks who operate the money printing machine to work for their own pocket 25% of the time?). Is there a theory that quantifies these considerations? It could be helpful in determining how to tax the financial industry.

A. The Economics of wage applies. If the pay of a particular firm is excessive and that is passed into its costs of product, another firm will undercut the higher wage firm with lower costing product of equal quality. Either an existing firm or a new entry to the market will cause this to happen. The problem occurs when there is bureaucratic barriers or natural barriers to new players or collusion among current players that causes temporary imbalances. This can be upended by stock holders who have power to elect board members who are part of the bonus program. If the stock holders are not active then the counterbalance does not occur. Why blame Wall Street when the stock holders were not utilizing their power. Why blame Wall Street when… [cont.]
