This paper investigates whether the extent of corporate voluntary disclosure mitigates asymmetric information and adverse selection in the Euronext Paris stock exchange. We apply a disclosure index as a proxy for the extent of voluntary disclosure and use different spread measures to estimate both asymmetric information and adverse selection. Our findings show a negative relationship between the disclosure index and asymmetric information and adverse selection proxies. An analysis of sub-indexes provides additional mixed results. Several asymmetric information measures are negatively related to the volume of financial, non-financial and voluntary governance information in corporate annual reports. Nevertheless, the effect of strategic information volume is statistically significant only for effective bid-ask spreads. On the whole, these results are consistent with the view that high corporate voluntary disclosure is associated with narrow spreads and low adverse selection costs

Abstract We establish that the labor market helps discipline asset managers via the impact of fund liquidations on their careers. Using hand-collected data on 1,948 professionals, we find that top managers working for funds liquidated after persistently poor relative performance suffer demotion coupled with a significant loss in imputed compensation. Scarring effects are absent when liquidations are preceded by normal relative performance or involve mid-level employees. Seen through the lens of a model with moral hazard and adverse selection, these scarring effects can be ascribed to a drop in asset managers’ reputation. The findings suggest that performance-induced liquidations supplement compensation-based incentives. Authors have furnished an Internet Appendix, which is available on the Oxford University Press Web site next to the link to the final published paper online.

We show how a market maker employs information about the momentum in the price of the asset (i.e. alpha signal) to make decisions in their liquidity provision strategy in an order-driven electronic market. The momentum in the midprice of the asset depends on the execution of liquidity taking orders and the arrival of news. Buy market orders (MOs) exert a short-lived upward pressure on the midprice, whereas sell MOs exert a short-lived downward pressure on the midprice. We employ Nasdaq high-frequency data to estimate model parameters and to illustrate the performance of the market making strategy. The market maker employs the alpha signal to minimise adverse selection costs, execute directional trades in anticipation of price changes, and to manage inventory risk. As the market maker increases their tolerance to inventory risk, the expected profits that stem from the alpha signal increase because the strategy employs more speculative MOs and performs more roundtrip trades with limit orders.
