| 单词 | asymmetric information |
| 释义 | asymmetric information A situation where economic agents do not all have the same information. This is of course the actual situation in any real economy. No economic agent has access to full information; each has some information that others do not. Information is available to some agents and not to others for various reasons. Some information is private, concerning the state of the agent's own mind; for example, the maximum amount I would be willing to bid in an auction. Other information is objectively measurable, for example the level of a firm's stocks, but only the firm and not its rivals can measure it. Even if private information is passed to others, if they cannot check it independently they may not believe it. Equally, for any agent there will be many things which others know but they do not. Every agent thus has to decide what strategy to follow, knowing that others know things that they do not, and that they cannot be sure how far their own information is shared by other people. |
