On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This paper analyzes price dynamics and trade delay in an endogenously-evolving thin market. In the model, buyers and sellers stochastically arrive over time and bargain in bilateral encounters until they trade. Differently from large markets, thin markets may feature trade delay even when buyers and sellers are homogeneous. Price dispersion and trade delay remain significant in the limit where bargaining frictions are small, and transaction prices are mostly determined by the evolution of the number of traders in the market. The market price drifts towards the price in a balanced market and, under some conditions, increments on the interest rate generate mean-preserving spreads of its ergodic distribution.
