From the School of Business, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. This paper is taken from my Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Minnesota, 1987. My thanks go to the members of my committee: Michael Dothan, John Kareken, Hidehiko Ichimura and especially Edward Prescott and Patrick Hess. I am also grateful to Jay Ritter for giving me both data and advice; to Joseph Williams, Philp Dybvig, and an anonymous referee for many valuable criticisms; and to my parents for a lifetime of support.
