Costs and Benefits of Dynamic Trading in a Lemons Market

We study a dynamic market with asymmetric information that induces the lemons problem. We compare efficiency of the market under different assumption about the timing of trade. We show that there generally exist conditions under which efficiency can be improved by temporarily closing the market as compared to continuous trading opportunities.
