| Risk Aversion, Liquidity, and Endogenous Short Horizons by Craig W. Holden of Indiana University, and Summer 1996 Abstract: We analyze a competitive model in which different information signals get reflected in value at different points in time. If investors are sufficiently risk averse, we obtain an equilibrium in which all investors focus exclusively on the short term. In addition, we show that increasing the variance of informationless trading in-creases market depth but causes a greater proportion of investors to focus on the short-term signal, which decreases the informative-ness of prices about the long run. Finally, we also explore parameter spaces under which long-term informed agents wish to voluntarily disclose their information.
