Information Assymmetry
George Akerlof 1970 University of California ”The Market for Lemons”
[Nobel prize 2001]
”Buyers today aren’t ’fully informed’ in the idealized way many economic
models assume. But neither are they the hapless victims of assymmetrical
information they once were.
…
In a world of information parity, the new guiding principle is ’caveat venditor’
– seller beware.”
[Daniel H. Pink – To Sell Is Human, 2013]
