Resumen

Relative performance information may generate first order effects in the overall performance of financial and oligopolistic markets. In the laboratory, we may systematically manipulate the amount of information agents receive, and measure its effect. Recent experimental literature strongly suggests that this information may distort market performance and deepen financial crisis.
