Rationality, property rights and thermodynamic approach to the market equilibrium.
We consider multistage bidding models where two types of risky assets (shares) are traded between two agents that have different information on the liquidation prices of traded assets. These prices are random integer variables that are determined by the initial chance move according to a probability distribution p over the two-dimensional integer lattice that is known to both players. Player 1 is informed on the prices of both types of shares, but Player 2 is not. The bids may take any integer values....
The problem of hedging a contingent claim with minimization of quadratic risk is studied. Existence of an optimal strategy for the model with proportional transaction cost and nondelayed observation is shown.
