Abstract: | This article studies the black hole of liquidity which is an analogue of the run outcome in a bank run model. When the price of an asset falls close to the loss limits of the short-term traders, selling of risky assets by any trader increases the incentive for others to sell. Sales become mutually reinforcing among the short-term traders, and the liquidity black hole may come into existence. |
