Pooling assets of heterogeneous quality induces dispersion in investors valuations without affecting their average. Prices are determined by market clearing assuming that investors cannot borrow nor short-sell. A monopolistic bank has the incentive to create heterogeneous bundles only when investors have enough money. When the number of banks is sufficiently large, oligopolistic banks choose extremely heterogeneous bundles, even when investors have little money and even if this turns out to be collectively detrimental to the banks. If in addition banks can originate low quality assets, even at a cost, this collective inefficiency is exacerbated and pure welfare losses arise. Robustness to the presence of rational investors and to the possibility of short-selling is discussed. date: 2019-10 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: https://www.tse-fr.eu/sites/default/files/TSE/documents/doc/wp/2019/wp_tse_1042.pdf faculty: tse divisions: tse keywords: complex nancial products keywords: bounded rationality keywords: disagreement keywords: market e¢ ciency keywords: sampling language: en has_fulltext: TRUE view_date_year: 2019 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 19-1042 place_of_pub: Toulouse pages: 48 institution: Université Toulouse 1 Capitole department: Toulouse School of Economics book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:123622 harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: publish_to_hal harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: keywords harvester_local_overwrite: abstract harvester_local_overwrite: pages harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation harvester_local_overwrite: institution oai_lastmod: 2020-01-31T13:01:45Z oai_set: tse site: ut1 publish_to_hal: FALSE citation: Bianchi, Milo and Jehiel, Philippe (2019) Bundlers Dilemmas in Financial Markets with Sampling Investors.
