An Empirical Equilibrium Model of a Decentralized Asset Market

Abstract

I construct and estimate a search-and-bargaining model of a decentralized market to quantify the effects of trading frictions on asset allocations and asset prices, and to quantify the effects of intermediaries that facilitate trade. Using U.S. business aircraft data, I find that trading frictions generate moderate inefficiencies in this market, and dealers play an important role in reducing frictions.
