Explain how the cost of trading limits full market efficiency and how it relates to the restriction of short selling.

High trading costs create and perpetuate mispricing. Restrictions placed on short selling limits efficiency by creating a market full of buyers with few, if any investors able to sell short.

Arbitrageurs seek to find mispricings between securities that allow them to buy the undervalued security while selling the overvalued security, creating an efficient market free of mispricings.
