Aggregate information cascades
We introduce a new model of aggregate information cascades where only one of two possible actions is observable to others. Agents make a binary decision in sequence. The order is random and agents are not aware of their own position in the sequence. When called upon, they are only informed about the total number of others who have chosen the observable action before them. This informational str...
متن کاملThe Limits of Market Discipline: Proprietary Trading and Aggregate Risk†
This paper studies the impact of external claim-holders heterogeneity on entrepreneurial risk-taking. We show that risk-taking by entrepreneurs and demand for risky securities by risk-neutral traders (e.g. fund managers or proprietary traders) are mutually reinforcing. Market discipline is the mechanism by which the adjustment of cost of capital to the level of risk feeds into managerial incent...
متن کاملThe Limits of Information
Black holes have their own thermodynamics including notions of entropy and temperature and versions of the three laws. After a light introduction to black hole physics, I recollect how black hole thermodynamics evolved in the 1970’s, while at the same time stressing conceptual points which were given little thought at that time, such as why the entropy should be linear in the black hole’s surfa...
متن کاملBasic limits on protocol information in data communication networks
We consider basic limitations on the amount of protocol information that must be transmitted in a data communicat ion network to keep track of source and receiver addresses and of the starting and stopping of messages. Assuming Poisson message arrivals between each communicat ing source-receiver pair, we find a lower bound on the required protocol information per message. This lower bound is th...
متن کاملCompetitive Markets and Aggregate Information
A frequently asked question is, how informationally efficient are market prices? In answering this question, economists commonly model the price formation process as one of tâtonnement where agents revise their beliefs until a market-clearing price is established. The Walrasian market thus aggregates all relevant information about an asset and yields a strong-form efficient price. A second appr...
