We study the welfare properties of a market with pairwise meetings and asymmetric information, establishing an equivalence between asymptotically ex-post individually rational and asymptotically (ex-ante, interim and ex-post) efficient equilibrium sequences.

We study a market with pair wise meetings of agents and with a one sided information asymmetry regarding the state of the world, which may be "low" or "high." We characterize the set of equilibria of the model, and study its behavior as the market becomes approximately friction less. For any one...
