Dr. Berliant's comment on this article

Dr. Berliant has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


A couple of comments. First, it would be good to contrast adverse selection with moral hazard (with a link to the Wikipedia article), and talk about it as asymmetric information about type. Second, I'm not sure that the example in financial markets is a good idea. If the market knows that managers are buying stock (perhaps this is required in company reports?) then the market price will capitalize this information.


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Dr. Jeitschko's comment on this article

Dr. Jeitschko has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


Captures the idea of a "rigged" trade? No. It captures the idea of inefficiently low volume of trade because those that are worried about rigged trades exit the market, causing a knock-on effect and unraveling of the market. An implication of this potential for market collapse is that it can work as an entry deterrence that leads to high margins without additional entry.


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
