Asset price variability in a rational expectations equilibrium

Jane M. Black, Ian Tonks

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper shows that in a rational expectations equilibrium with different types of agents who are informed and uniformed about a piece of information, price variability may increase as the proportion of agents who are informed increases. This is a surprising result and the paper establishes the conditions under which price variability will increase as the percentage of informed agents increases.
