We study a rational expectations' competitive equilibrium in a production economy, i.e., a system of prices at which firms' profit maximizing production decisions and individuals' preferred affordable consumption choices equate supply and demand in every market. We derive the equilibrium price...

Theories on under- and over-reaction in asset prices fall into three types: (1) they are respectively driven by different psychological factors; (2) they are driven by different types of investors; and (3) they reflect un-modeled risk. We design an asset market where information arrives...

Many argue that under- and over-reaction in asset prices are caused by inherently different factors. We design an asset market where information arrives sequentially over time to investigate the sources of these phenomena. We find that prices react insufficiently to news surprises and...

We investigate the formation of market prices in a new experimental setting involving multi-period call-auction asset markets with state-dependent fundamentals. We are particularly interested in two informational aspects: (1) the role of traders who are informed about the true state and/or (2)...

Bubbles in asset markets have been documented in numerous experimental studies. However, all experiments in which … bubbles occur pay dividends after each trading day. In this paper we study whether bubbles can occur in markets without … may have inside information, and (2) the option to communicate with other traders. We find that bubbles can indeed occur …

Bubbles in asset markets have been documented in numerous experiments. Most experiments in which bubbles occur feature … information and communication among traders. We find that bubbles and mirages can occur if these additional ingredients are … present. In particular, the mere possibility that some traders are better informed than others can create bubbles …
