When traders come to a market with different information about the items to be traded, the resulting market prices may reveal to some traders information originally available only to others. The possibility for such inferences rests upon traders having "models" or "expectations" of how equilibrium prices are related to initial information. This relationship is endogenous, which motivates the term "rational expectations equilibrium." This paper shows that, in a particular model of asset trading, if the number of alternative states of initial information is finite then, generically, rational expectations equilibria exist that reveal to all traders all of their initial information.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Kate Ho, the John L. Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy at Princeton University and a Fellow of the Econometric Society. Kate was a brilliant IO economist and scholar whose impact on the profession will resonate for many years to come.
