We study the informational role of prices. To that end, we consider the framework of a dominant firm with a competitive fringe. When the competitive fringe is large enough, there exists a unique fully revealing equilibrium, in which the price conveys full information about the quality of the good to uninformed buyers. Deceiving the uninformed buyers by charging a high price and mimicking a high quality is not profitable when the competitive fringe is large enough. Since a higher price triggers more sales on the part of the competitive fringe, residual demand and thus profits are reduced. We also study the effect of asymmetric information and learning on the equilibrium outcomes. More uninformed buyers increases the price, reduces the quantity sold by the dominant firm, but increases the quantity sold by the competitive fringe.

The paper extends the framework of prices beyond the standard market setting to incorporate public goods and natural resources. These are settings where one does not usually think of market solutions. Core theory has established that price-taking behaviour by both suppliers and consumers, i.e. the absence of strategic considerations, greatly improves the informational value of prices, and hence of economic equilibria. This also holds when using market-like institutions to allocate resources for public goods. Policy effectiveness in many areas can be improved when agents are induced to reveal, voluntarily and truthfully, their willingness-to-pay or production costs.

We examine how an increase in the number of information sources affects traders' welfare and their information acquisition decisions. We show that as the number of information sources increases, the informativeness of market prices decreases. As a result, more traders choose to acquire information. In addition, traders' ex ante utilities decrease.

The growth of information economics has lead to a substantial re-consideration of the role of prices. Instead of the conventional neo-classical view of prices as straightforward indicators of scarcity, information economics emphasises that prices can be sources from which agents infer information and means by which they communicate. Prices and Knowledge analyses different theoretical approaches to the role of prices in situations of imperfect information. It shows that whilst the `informational efficiency' approach of Grossman and Stiglitz and the `bounded rationality theory' of Nelson and Simon are useful, neither goes far enough in considering situations of disequilibrium.
