Finding a Good Price in Opaque Over-the-Counter Markets
建立了一个动态模型，研究卖方在不透明的场外市场中通过逐一访问多个买方来寻找好价格的过程，分析了信息不透明如何影响报价和交易结果。
This article offers a dynamic model of opaque over-the-counter markets. A seller searches for an attractive price by visiting multiple buyers, one at a time. The buyers do not observe contacts, quotes, or trades elsewhere in the market. A repeat contact with a buyer reveals the seller's reduced outside options and worsens the price offered by the revisited buyer. When the asset value is uncertain and common to all buyers, a visit by the seller suggests that other buyers could have quoted unattractive prices and thus worsens the visited buyer's inference regarding the asset value.
