This book develops the conceptual foundations required for the
analysis of markets with asymmetric information, and uses them to
provide a clear survey and synthesis of the theoretical literature
on bubbles, market microstructure, crashes, and herding in
financial markets. The book is not only useful to the beginner who
requires a guide through the rapidly developing literature, but
provides insight and perspective that the expert will also
appreciate. Michael

Finance at the London Business School. President of the

Finance Association, 1989
This book provides an excellent account of how bubbles and crashes
and various other phenomena can occur. Traditional asset pricing
theories have assumed symmetric information. Including asymmetric
information radically alters the results that are obtained. The
author takes a complex subject and presents it in a clear and
concise manner. I strongly recommend it for anybody seriously
interested in the theory of asset pricing. Franklin Allen, Nippon

Professor of Finance and Economics at the Wharton School,
University of Pennsylvannia, and President of the American Finance
Association, 2000
This timely book provides an invaluable map for students and
researchers navigating the literature on market microstructure, and
more generally, on equilibrium with asymmetric information. It will
become highly recommended reading for graduate courses in the
economics of uncertainty and in financial economics. Hyun Song
Shin, Professor of Finance at the London School of Economicsr
