Abstract: | The author reports an exploratory study of the process of price formation in a speculative market in the absence of liquidity traders. Traders exchange a futures contract because they interpret information differently. The author formulates trading as a sequence of anonymous double auctions and introduce a notion of bounded rationality in which traders use approximate models of market response in forming their bids. He proves existence of a perfect equilibrium in the sequintial anonymous auctions game. |
