The time structure of their model allows manipulators to pretend “informed” traders, so that the local investors cannot distinguish what type of entrant they are facing. When the type of the entrant becomes known to the local investors it is already too late to make any use of that information. In this study we show that an institution can be designed in a very natural fashion which induces different behaviours on the part of manipulators and “informed” traders at the beginning of the process. The institution designed roughly consists of entitling the entrants to resell stocks at a later date as well if they wish to do so. As this reasoning is also accessible to manipulators, the designed institution deters them from entering the market. Regarding the informed traders, their expected gain from entering the stock market may or may not be positive contingent on the basic parameters of the model. There are cases, however, when there is an improvement in the expected total gain of the local investors.iii, 34 leaves, graphicsEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessStock MarketInstitutional DesignEquilibrium PriceManipulationHG4636 .I43 2001Stocks--Prices.Stock exchange.Investments analysis.Equilibrium (Economics).Manipulate bahvior.Speculation.Probalities.Thesis
