Eliciting traders' knowledge in \\"frictionless\\" asset market

Author

  • Edward J. Green

Abstract

Intuitively, a patient trader should be able to make his trading partners compete to reveal whatever information is relevant to their transactions with him. This possibility is examined in the context of a model resembling that of Gale (1986). The main result is that, under assumptions having to do with asset structure and spanning, incentive-compatible elicitation of trading partners? knowledge is feasible.
