Market failure in capital markets occurs when the market does not allocate resources efficiently. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as information asymmetry, externalities, and transaction costs. Information asymmetry occurs when one party has more information than the other, which can lead to misallocation of resources. Externalities occur when the actions of one party have an effect on another party, which can lead to inefficient outcomes. Transaction costs are the costs associated with making a transaction, which can lead to inefficient outcomes.
Examples of companies in the capital markets include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, and Bank of America.
