“…Our paper is related to the literature on the economic effects of borrowing, margin, short-sale, and position limit constraints (e.g., Harrison and Kreps, 1978;Detemple and Murthy, 1997;Basak and Cuoco, 1998;Croitoru, 2000, 2006;Pavlova and Rigobon, 2008;Gârleanu and Pedersen, 2011;Chabakauri, 2013Chabakauri, , 2015Rytchkov, 2014;Brumm et al, 2015;Buss et al, 2016), portfolio insurance (e.g., Basak, 1995) and VaR constraints (e.g., Basak and Shapiro, 2001). Our economic results are different from the results in this literature.…”
