Online video advertising has rapidly grown into a popular marketing tool. U.S. firms spent about US$74 billion on online video advertising in 2022, and this expenditure is expected to further increase by around 14% in 2023. Moreover, the revenues generated by online video advertising totalled over US$47 billion in 2022, making video advertising the fastest-growing type of online advertising.

In this paper, the researchers incorporated ambiguity and information processing constraints into the He and Krishnamurthy (HK) model of intermediary asset pricing. Intermediary asset pricing, pioneered by He and Krishnamurthy and Brunnermeier and Sannikov, proposes that financial intermediaries play an essential role in determining asset prices, primarily due to market segmentation that limits household participation.

In this study, the researcher examined whether firms opportunistically use the exemption rule to hide environmental externalities when making trade secret claims. Mandatory environmental disclosure regulations are used as a policy tool to monitor the negative externalities associated with the goods and services provided by firms.

Information sharing is ubiquitous in financial markets. In one study, a majority of institutional investors attributed their recent trades to discussions with peers. More recent studies have provided evidence suggesting that mutual fund managers place trades based on word-of-mouth communications found in the asset-management community.

Corporate finance theory suggests that the quality of a firm’s information environment affects its overall access to external funds and its access to equity financing. Information quality also affects investment policy because reduced information asymmetry reduces investment risk and makes external capital more readily available.

Innovation occurs across all levels of an organisation’s operations, including product design, trial production, market analyses, fixed asset investments that translate into new or improved products, and more. Typically, stakeholders learn about product innovations through a firm’s new product announcements, and the disclosures in these announcements are critical corporate indicators, as sustained product innovation has been linked to firm success and prosperity.

The question of whether and how firms disclose their private information to competitors is a significant and well-researched topic in economics. Classical literature on firms’ information sharing under oligopoly settings indicates that the decision to disclose information depends on the type of competition, known as either Bertrand or Cournot competition, and the nature of the private information, such as demand or cost data.
