Labour productivity growth arises from capital accumulation and from innovation; that is, the creation, dispersion, and use of new and valued products and processes. Innovation results in a change in the composition of the economy. Firms and entrepreneurs are central to driving innovation and hence productivity growth. However, innovation is inherently a risky and uncertain process.

As a result of the prioritization scheme used in structuring claims many of the manufactured tranches are far safer than the average asset in the underlying pool. This ability of structured finance to repackage risks and create safe assets from otherwise risky collateral led to a dramatic expansion in the issuance of structured securities most of which were viewed by investors to be virtually risk-free and certified as such by the rating agencies. At the core of the recent financial market crisis has been the discovery that these securities are actually far riskier than originally advertised. We examine how the process of securitization allowed trillions of dollars of risky assets to be transformed into securities that were widely considered to be safe and argue that two key features of the structured finance machinery fueled its spectacular growth. First we show .
