Abstract: We propose a new welfare criterion that allows us to rank different financial market structures in the presence of belief heterogeneity. We analyze economies with complete and incomplete financial markets and/or restricted trading possibilities in the form of borrowing limits or transaction costs. We describe circumstances under which some restrictions on financial markets are desirable according to our welfare criterion.
