This paper uses an experimental design of voluntary information acquisition to assess the information assumptions of different learning models. The design is implemented in two-stage asymmetric-information games. Subjects' information-seeking behavior reveals that they tend to choose certain...

This paper examines the effects of pre-trade opacity on market liquidity in the presence of market fragmentation. In the laboratory, we create a fragmented market by allowing trading on two venues (i.e., limit order books). By varying the features on one of the venues, we study the treatment...
