New study reveals how diverse expectations impact asset prices dramatically
The article explores how different expectations affect asset prices. The researchers use models to show that informed traders consider both private information and pricing when trading. They find that informed traders demand more risky assets when they have more accurate information. Additionally, the volatility of cash flow innovations influences how much informed traders demand. Market depth is affected by the volatility of uninformed traders and the total error variance of information. Overall, higher volatility leads to more advantages for traders with private information.
