Some Aspects of Information Asymmetry and its Effect on the Cost of Capital

Summary/Abstract: Information asymmetry of capital markets is observed on two levels of the market relations between the participants - between investors themselves and between investors and managers. The probability of informed trading is underlying the occurring asymmetry.
