Information asymmetry is a distinguishing phenomenon of any human relationship. From an economic perspective, private or hidden information, opposed to publicly observable information, generates advantages and inequalities; at the same time, it is a source of profit, legal and illegal, and of transaction costs. The contributions that make up the present book aim to deepen our understanding of the economy of Ancient Rome by identifying and analysing formal and informal systems of knowledge and institutions that contributed to control, manage, restrict and enhance information. The chapters scrutinize the impact of information asymmetries on specific economic sectors, such as the labour market and the market of real estate, as well as the world of professional associations and trading networks. It further discusses structures and institutions that facilitated and regulated economic information in the public and the private spheres, such as market places, auctions, financial mechanisms and instruments, state treasures and archives. Managing Asymmetric Information in the Roman Economy invites the reader to evaluate economic activities within a larger collective mental, social, and political framework, and aims ultimately to test the applicability of tools and ideas from theoretical frameworks such as the Economics of Information to ancient and comparative historical research. 001433077 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ProQuest Ebook Central platform, viewed September 23, 2022). 001433077 650_0 $$aKnowledge economy$$zRome. 001433077 650_6 $$aÉconomie du savoir$$zRome. 001433077 651_0 $$aRome$$xEconomic conditions. 001433077 651_0 $$aRome$$xHistory$$yEmpire, 30 B.C.-284 A.D. 001433077 651_6 $$aRome$$xConditions économiques. 001433077 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001433077 7001_ $$aRosillo López, Cristina,$$eeditor. 001433077 7001_ $$aGarcía Morcillo, Marta,$$eeditor. 001433077 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tManaging information in the Roman economy.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2021]$$z9783030540999$$w(OCoLC)1230553590 001433077 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in ancient economies. 001433077 852__ $$bebk 001433077 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-54100-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001433077 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1433077$$pGLOBAL_SET 001433077 980__ $$aBIB 001433077 980__ $$aEBOOK 001433077 982__ $$aEbook 001433077 983__ $$aOnline 001433077 994__ $$a92$$bISE
