# kaal:position:2026-07-31-1606

**Affirmed position.** Regulating Stock Externalities should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The social welfare maximization potential of contingent capital securities is lower if their design features are left entirely to private ordering, because private parties do not necessarily structure those features with a view toward the common good, the avoidance of future bailouts, or the limitation of systemic risk and contagion. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- where regulators leave CCS design features entirely to industry groups and private parties
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
