The search theory of OTC markets

Pierre-Olivier Weill

No 14847, CEPR Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: I review the recent literature that applies search-and-matching theory to the study of Over-the-Counter (OTC) financial markets. I formulate and solve a simple model in order to illustrate the typical assumptions and economic forces at play in existing work. I then offer thematic tours of the literature and, in the process, discuss avenues for future research.
