| Summary: | How are prices set in a market economy with decentralized information? How
are we able to extract full gains from trade in a competitive market without
centrally coordinated price formation and resource allocation? In 1962, separate research efforts proved that neither rationality nor complete information
are necessary market conditions to reach competitive equilibrium1
. Behavioral
extensions to this framework have shown significant progress towards a coherent
model of competitive price formation under varying conditions of decentralized
trade and individual rationality. Unfortunately, economics continues to lack a
generally valid model of decentralized price formation |
