Competitive equilibria in trading
This is the third paper in a series concerning the game-theoretic aspects of position-building while in competition. The first paper set forth foundations and laid out the essential goal, which is to minimize implementation costs in light of how other traders are likely to trade. The majority of results in that paper center on the two traders in competition and equilibrium results are presented. The second paper, introduces computational methods based on Fourier Series which allows the introduction of a broad range of constraints into the optimal strategies derived. The current paper returns to the unconstrained case and provides a complete solution to finding equilibrium strategies in competition and handles completely arbitrary situations. As a result we present a detailed analysis of the value (or not) of trade centralization and we show that firms who naively centralize trades do not generally benefit and sometimes, in fact, lose. On the other hand, firms that strategically centralize their trades generally will be able to benefit.

The Structure of Equilibria in Trading Networks with Frictions
Several structural results for the set of competitive equilibria in trading networks with frictions are established: The lattice theorem, the rural hospitals theorem, the existence of side-optimal equilibria, and a group…
Market allocations under conflation of goods
We study competitive equilibria in exchange economies when a continuum of goods is conflated into a finite set of commodities. The design of conflation choices affects the allocation of scarce resources among agents, by …
Randomization in Optimal Execution Games
We study optimal execution in markets with transient price impact in a competitive setting with $N$ traders. Motivated by prior negative results on the existence of pure Nash equilibria, we consider randomized strategies…
Equilibrium Effects of Intraday Order-Splitting Benchmarks
This paper presents a continuous-time model of intraday trading, pricing, and liquidity with dynamic TWAP and VWAP benchmarks. The model is solved in closed-form for the competitive equilibrium and also for non-price-tak…
Informed Principal Problems in Bilateral Trading
We study bilateral trade with interdependent values as an informed-principal problem. The mechanism-selection game has multiple equilibria that differ with respect to principal's payoff and trading surplus. We characteri…
