Strategic Trading in Informationally Complex Environments
Lambert, Nicolas S. - 2015

On Frequent Batch Auctions for Stocks
Jagannathan, Ravi - 2019
I show that frequent batch auctions for stocks have the potential to reduce the severity of stock price crashes when they occur. For a given sequence of orders from a continuous electronic limit order book market, matching orders using one second apart batch auctions results in nearly the same...

Herd on the Street : Informational Inefficiencies in a Market with Short-Term Speculation
Froot, Kenneth - 2001
Standard models of informed speculation suggest that traders try to learn information that others do not have. This result implicitly relies on the assumption that speculators have long horizons, i.e, can hold the asset forever. By contrast, we show that if speculators have short horizons, they...

Index Investing and Asset Pricing Under Information Asymmetry and Ambiguity Aversion
Hirshleifer, David A. - 2017
Ambiguity aversion alone does not explain the market nonparticipation puzzle. We show that in a rational expectations equilibrium model with a fund offering the risk-adjusted market portfolio (RAMP), ambiguity averse investors hold the fund and an information-based portfolio, and thus...
