Abstract: | In adverse-selection models of security market microstructure, a market maker could enhance efficiency if he or she were willing to sustain short-term trading losses. The authors show that this desirable activity can br supported as a self-enforcing agreement between broker-dealers and long-lived clients. An implication is that brokers who sustain such losses should charge higher fees to long-term clients for trades where the broker merely receives a commission. |
