competitive market makers, and the demand from liquidity traders. We show that there always exists a unique linear equilibrium … informational efficiency of prices as the number of strategic traders becomes large. If liquidity demand is positively correlated … demand is negatively correlated with the asset value, then prices in large markets aggregate all information except that …
