| dc.description.abstract | Existing no trade results are based on the common prior assumption (CPA). This paper identifies a strictly weaker condition than the CPA under which speculative trade is impossible in a rational expectations equilibrium (REE). As our main finding, we demonstrate the impossibility of speculative asset trade in an REE when ever an insider is involved who knows the asset’s true value. To model insider trade as an equilibrium phenomenon an alternative equilibrium concept than the REE is thus required. | en_ZA |
