Abstract: | Consider a market where an informed monopolist sets the price for a good or asset with a value unknown to potential buyers. Upon observing the price, buyers may pay some cost for information about the value before deciding on purchases. Under a belief-restriction, which generalizes the idea of the Cho-Kreps "intuitive criterion", the authors establish a version of the Grossman-Stiglitz Paradox: there is no separating equilibrium with fully revealing prices. |
