Rational Expectations and the Aggregation of Diverse Information in Laboratory Security Markets

Abstract

The study explores the information aggregation properties of experimental markets in which a fully revealing rational expectations equilibrium exists. In single securities markets in which traders have different preferences, information aggregation seems to be minimal, and rational expectations equilibrium are not attained. If the market has a complete set of contingent claims securities or if preferences are identical, the rational expectations equilibrium model works well.
