In the model, this study compares financial intermediation to trading shares in decentralized secondary markets. The results show that under certain conditions, both financial mechanisms generate the same equilibrium outcome. %K Financial Intermediation %K Search %K Overlapping Generations Model %K Spatial Separation %K Friedman Rule %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=108265
