Abstract

Asset trading resolves coordination problems in most currently existing models of coordination failure. We argue that a principal limitation of these models is their ignoring idiosyncratic and aggregate uncertainty in investment returns. We introduce such uncertainty in a standard model of investment coordination while simultaneously closing down all other avenues leading to coordination failures.
