Liquidity cognition and limits of arbitrage

Abstract

An inquiry about the limits of arbitrage connected with liquidity cognition is set forth. The hierarchy of money (Mehrling, 2012b; Pozsar, 2014) is shown to provide sharp insights on the emergence of endogenous constraints which may limit the strategic space of professional arbitrageurs in empirically relevant contexts. A case study (Mitchell and Pulvino, 2012) sets the stage for our theoretical proposal. Our approach is conjectured to represent a fruitful line of progress for behavioral finance.
