Does Information Asymmetry matter in emerging markets?. Evidence from six Latin American stock markets

Does informed trading affect emerging stock markets? Market microstructure literature establishes that information asymmetry reduces liquidity and moves prices in the direction of the trade. We test for this theoretical implication by running the dynamic PIN model of Easley, Engle, O’Hara y Wu (2008...
