  • Summary

  • In every financial transaction, one side has more information than the other. For example, when someone buys a used car, the seller will know better than the buyer whether the car is a plum or a lemon. Does more information leave you better off?

    One of the fascinating ideas behind the concept of asymmetric information is that more information can lead to you being actually worse off.
