Description：This paper studies information sharing in a duopoly product market in which firms learn information from asset prices. By disclosing information, a firm incurs a proprietary cost of losing competitive advantage to its rival firm but benefits from learning from a more informative asset market. Learning from asset prices can dramatically change firms’ disclosure behaviors: without learning from prices, firms do not disclose at all; but with learning from prices, firms can fully disclose their information. Firms’ disclosure decisions can exhibit strategic complementarity, which leads to both a disclosure equilibrium and a nondisclosure equilibrium.
