摘要翻译:
共同基金行业管理着美国股市约四分之一的资产,因此在美国经济中扮演着重要角色。从基金规模分布的尾部行为来定量地讨论有多少控制权集中在最大的参与者手中的问题是最好的。我们对分布进行了实证研究,发现对数正态分布比幂律更好地描述了尾部,表明集中度低于例如个人收入。结果具有高度的统计学意义,并且在十五年中是一致的。这与最近关于交易量分布的幂律尾起源的理论相矛盾。根据本文的分析,对数正态性是可以预期的,并表明共同基金的分布永远处于不均衡状态。

英文摘要:
The mutual fund industry manages about a quarter of the assets in the U.S. stock market and thus plays an important role in the U.S. economy. The question of how much control is concentrated in the hands of the largest players is best quantitatively discussed in terms of the tail behavior of the mutual fund size distribution. We study the distribution empirically and show that the tail is much better described by a log-normal than a power law, indicating less concentration than, for example, personal income. The results are highly statistically significant and are consistent across fifteen years. This contradicts a recent theory concerning the origin of the power law tails of the trading volume distribution. Based on the analysis in a companion paper, the log-normality is to be expected, and indicates that the distribution of mutual funds remains perpetually out of equilibrium.
