The transaction-level analysis of security price changes by Madhavan, Richardson, and Roomans (1997, hereafter MRR) is a useful framework for financial analysis. The first-order Markov property of trading indicator variables is a critical assumption in the MRR model, which contradicts the...

We investigate the impacts of the short-termism on multiple equilibria in a dynamic rational expectations equilibrium model. We find that short-termism is not the cause of equilibrium multiplicity but affects market quality of all equilibria. The liquidity, price efficiency and expected trading...
