Abstract

Actual trade gains and market exchange volume proved to be smaller than expected market assumptions. Based on two market simulations, actual gains obtained in exchange and trade volumes are less than half of market assumptions. Fewer than expected market tradings were also observed on actual market exchanges as shown by failure to complete by all Pareto-efficient exchanges.
