Study a market with uncertain informed traders, finding price impact depends on both asset value and informed trader count distribution.

problem Uncertain participation of informed traders in a market with limit orders.
method Characterized equilibrium by a fixed point integral equation, analyzed large order asymptotics, solved numerically.
result Equilibrium price impact depends on both asset value and distribution of informed traders, not just expected number of informed traders.

Network models assume unrealistic idiosyncratic risk, which can be mitigated by allowing for correlated shocks.

problem Network models assume idiosyncratic risk, which can be unrealistic and lead to incorrect predictions.
method Proposed a production-based asset pricing model to account for substitutability between trade partners and correlation in supply and demand shocks.
result Assets positively exposed to average propagation of upstream and downstream shocks earn lower average risk premia.

Although standard economics textbooks are seldom interested in production networks, modern economies are more and more based upon suppliers/customers interactions. One can consider entire sectors of the economy as generalised supply chains. We will take this view in the present paper and study under which conditions lo…

This paper shows how we can build a model for transactions when goods are given away in the expectation of a later settlement. In settings where people keep track of their social accounts we are able to redefine concepts like account balance, yield curve and the law of diminishing returns. The model provides us with a …
