Extreme adverse selection arises when private information has unbounded support, and market breakdown occurs when no trade is the only equilibrium outcome. We study extreme adverse selection via the limit behavior of a financial market as the support of private information converges to an...

Atiase [1980] hypothesized that private information production and dissemination prior to an earnings announcement is an increasing function of firm size. The economic rationale behind this hypothesis was that large firms have higher share liquidity, which conceals informed trade and increases...

This paper examines how market prices, volume, and traders' dividend expectations respond to public information releases in laboratory markets for a long-lived financial asset. The objective is to study deviations from the symmetric information risk-neutral rational expectations (RE) benchmark,...

This paper studies equilibrium uniqueness in multi-asset noisy rational expectations economies with asymmetric information, an extension of Grossman and Stiglitz (1980). We show the existence of a linear equilibrium, and prove its uniqueness among equilibria with any continuous price function....

This paper studies equilibrium uniqueness in standard noisy rational expectations economies with asymmetric or differential information a la Grossman and Stiglitz (1980) and Hellwig (1980). We show that the standard linear equilibrium of Grossman and Stiglitz (1980) is the unique equilibrium...

We develop an integrated model in which a risk neutral informed trader optimally chooses any combination of: a market buy (MB), a market sell (MS), a limit but (LB) including the optimal limit buy price, and limit sell (LS) including the optimal limit sell price. With minimal distributional...

We study market breakdown in a finance context under extreme adverse selection with and without competitive pricing. Adverse selection is extreme if for any price there are informed agent types with whom uninformed agents prefer not to trade. Market breakdown occurs when no trade is the only...
