Speeding up the exchange does not necessarily improve liquidity. The price quotes of high-frequency market makers are more likely to meet speculative high-frequency "bandits", thus less likely to meet liquidity traders. The bid-ask spread is raised in response. The recursive dynamic model...

We estimate a dynamic asset pricing model characterized by heterogeneous boundedly rational agents. The fundamental value of the risky asset is publicly available to all agents, but they have different beliefs about the persistence of deviations of stock prices from the fundamental benchmark. An...

We study the role of experience in the formation of asset price bubbles. Therefore, we conduct two related experiments … participants receive. Each market is repeated three times. In both experiments and in all treatments, we observe sizable bubbles …. These bubbles do not disappear with experience. Our findings in the call market experiment stand in contrast to the …
