This study shows that exchange-traded fund (ETF) misvaluation — based on return differentials between ETFs and their net asset values (NAV) — comove excessively across ETFs. Excess comovements are positive (negative) and significant across ETFs in similar (distant) investment styles. Further...

Aim/purpose - The aim of this paper is to verify whether extremely high values of market value ratios are the symptoms of informational inefficiency of the market in a weak form. The authors intend to examine whether these phenomena co-occur with each other. Design/methodology/approach -...

We investigate the dynamics of prices, information and expectations in a competitive, noisy, dynamic asset pricing equilibrium model. We show that prices are farther away from (closer to) fundamentals compared with average expectations if and only if traders over- (under-) rely on public...

We show that dealers' limited market participation, coupled with an informational friction resulting from lack of market transparency, can make liquidity demand upward sloping, inducing strategic complementarities: traders demand more liquidity when the market becomes less liquid, fostering...

A firm's marketing efficiency, the ability to optimally deploy and integrate different marketing inputs to achieve high sales revenue at low cost, is persistent. High marketing efficiency predicts better future operating performance and stock returns, especially in competitive industries. A...

We derive invariance relationships in a dynamic, infinite-horizon, equilibrium model of adverse selection with risk-neutral informed traders, noise traders, market makers, and with endogenous information production. The model solution depends on two state variables: stock price and...

Following the recent financial crisis, increasing the transparency of credit default swap (CDS) markets has been a popular goal among regulators. We examine how changes in the transparency of the CDS market can impact liquidity in the corresponding equity market. We first extend a model of...

We derive an equilibrium price that converges to be strong-form informationally efficient in the original Grossman-Stiglitz model (1980). Specifically, we show that when the private signal converges to be perfect or traders converge to be risk neutral, there exists a unique overall equilibrium...

As machines replace humans in financial markets, how is informational efficiency impacted? We shed light on this issue by exploiting a unique data-set that allows us to identify when machines access important company information (8-K filings) versus when humans access the same information. We...
