Decentralized convergence to equilibrium prices in trading networks by Lock, E, Evans, BP, Kreacic, E, Bhatt, S, Koppel, A, Ganesh, S, Goldberg, PW

“…Our motivation comes from the fact that prices in markets such as over-the-counter markets and used car markets arise from decentralized negotiation among agents, which has left open an important question as to whether equilibrium prices can emerge from agent-to-agent bilateral negotiations. We design a best response dynamic intended to capture such negotiations between market participants. …”
