摘要
As the internet develops, more and more people are paying attention to disintermediation on the second-hand house market. This paper studies the difference between markets with automated trading platforms and those with broker information services using experimental economics. The results show that the problem of asymmetric information is worse in a market with automated trading platforms than with broker information services. Markets with broker information services are closer to the Pareto equilibrium than with automated trading platforms. Markets are less efficient with automated trading platforms than with broker information services. Thus, internet self-help trading platforms can not replace broker information services. Brokers should improve information quality to improve market efficiency. © 2017, Tsinghua University Press. All right reserved.
