چکیده

Huang, Chi-fu — Information Structure and Equilibrium Asset Prices In a continuous trading economy, it is shown that if information is revealed continuously and if agents' preferences are continuous in a certain topology, then equilibrium asset price processes must have continuous sample paths. Except for uninteresting cases, the sample paths of price processes will be of unbounded variation. In particular, if the information is generated by a Brownian motion, then equilibrium asset price processes are Ito integrals. When information is not revealed continuously, the times (which may be random) at which prices can have jumps are identified. J. Econ. Theory , (English).

Asset Pricing Under Heterogeneous Information

In an asset market where agents have heterogeneous information, asset prices not only depend their expectations of the true fundamentals but also depend on their expectations of the expectations of others. Iterations of such expectations lead to the so-called “infinite regress” problem, which makes the analysis of asset pricing under heterogenous information challenging. In this paper, we solve...

Efficiently Inefficient Markets for Assets and Asset Management∗

We consider a model where investors can invest directly or search for an asset manager, information about assets is costly, and managers charge an endogenous fee. In equilibrium, the efficiency of asset prices is linked to the efficiency of the asset management market: (1) if investors can find managers more easily then more money is allocated to active management, fees are lower, and asset pri...

Asset Prices Under Short-Sale Constraints

In this paper, we study how short-sale constraints affect asset price and market efficiency. We consider a fully rational expectations equilibrium model, in which investors trade for two reasons, to share risk and to speculate on private information, but they face short-sale constraints. Short-sale constraints limit both types of trades, and thus reduce the allocational and informational effici...

Private Information and Sunspots in Sequential Asset Markets∗

We study a model where some agents have private information about risky asset returns and trade to obtain capital gains, while others acquire the risky asset and hold it to maturity, forming expectations of returns based on market prices. We show that under such a structure, in addition to fully revealing rational expectations equilibria, there exists a continuum of equilibrium prices consisten...

The Price Impact and Survival of Irrational Traders

Milton Friedman argued that irrational traders will consistently lose money, won’t survive and, therefore, cannot influence long run equilibrium asset prices. Since his work, survival and price influence have been assumed to be the same. Often partial equilibrium analysis has been relied upon to examine the survival of irrational traders and to make inferences on their influence on prices. In t...
