摘要:
This paper studies the determination of the number of futures contracts created by an exchange. We show that though the exchange can create the futures contracts costlessly; if the investors have differential information, there may be an upper bound on the number of contracts that the exchange is willing to create. In a stylized economy, we investigate what type of contracts and how many of these the exchange is willing to create. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: D52, D82, G14.
