摘要:
When the arrival of traders at the market is stochastic, and it is impossible for traders who might arrive to meet ex ante, then Walrasian spot-market clearing presents consumers with price-risk and is typically not Pareto optimal. Instead. with an indivisible good and a divisible numeraire, the first-best can be achieved by an ''Exchange'' selling raffle tickers at a fixed price. When only spot market trading is feasible and consumers cannot commit to pay unless they purchase the indivisible good, efficiency implies price-fixing with rationing. potential disadvantages of black markets and scalping are discussed.
