Evolutionary Sequential Trading

This paper analyzes an Easley and O'Hara (1992) type sequential trading model in an evolutionary setting. We assume that the memory of a market maker is limited, and that traders endogenously choose whether to acquire private information with a fixed cost. We show that the ratio of the informed traders is proportional to the width of the bid ask spread, and that the price converges to the strong-form efficient level exponentially.
