Abstract

Determining the degree of informational asymmetry is a major topic in the literature of modern microstructure. In this paper, we review and analyze the suitability of the models for estimating the probability of informed trading [Easley et al., 1996; Nyholm, 2002, 2003]. The empirical analysis is carried out on the Spanish market. We find evidence suggesting that the regime-switching model by Nyholm (2002, 2003) does not provide estimates consistent with the effects of asymmetry. The specific analysis on the Spanish market reveals a higher likelihood of informed trading for the less-frequently traded assets as a consequence of the dramatic fall in the number of liquidity traders. This issue suggests a strong degree of aversion to the risk of adverse selection. Caracterizar el grado de asimetría informativa ocupa un papel predominante en la literatura de microestructura moderna. En este trabajo, se revisa y analiza la idoneidad de los métodos existentes para calibrar la probabilidad de negociación informada [Easley et al., 1996; Nyholm, 2002, 2003]. El análisis empírico toma como referencia el mercado español. La evidencia obtenida señala que el modelo de régimen cambiante de Nyholm (2002, 2003) no ofrece medidas consistentes con los efectos de asimetría informativa. El análisis sobre el mercado español revela una mayor probabilidad de negociación informada en los activos menos líquidos como consecuencia de una reducción drástica en el número de agentes que negocia por motivos de liquidez. Esta evidencia sugiere un fuerte comportamiento de aversión al riesgo de selección adversa.
