Tóm tắt

Bài báo này xem xét vấn đề thông tin bất đối xứng trong các thị trường tài chính do thiếu thông tin môi trường thiết yếu. Tài liệu cho thấy rằng thông tin bất đối xứng tạo ra nhiều vấn đề cho các chủ thể trong thị trường tài chính như thông tin không đầy đủ cho các quyết định đầu tư và quy trình cho vay, phân bổ sai quỹ thị trường tài chính, việc đánh giá thấp giá chứng khoán, và lựa chọn quản lý rủi ro môi trường kém. Để giải quyết vấn đề này, bài báo phát triển một tiếp cận lý thuyết trò chơi nhằm xem xét cả bản chất dai dẳng của thông tin bất đối xứng do sự thiếu hụt thông tin môi trường chính xác và chỉ ra cách một hệ thống chứng nhận kế toán kiểm toán quốc tế có tổ chức, đáng tin cậy, được đồng thuận có thể đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc hạn chế quy mô của vấn đề này.
