Abstract

CONTENTS: This paper examines a model of market making in the ABS market with heterogeneous investors and a lack of price transparency. It is shown that in a world with no price transparency, allowing free entry of market makers might not be a social optimum. Social welfare would be improved by a regulation to restrict the number of market makers in the ABS market to the extent that price competition is guaranteed.
