This paper analyses equilibrium in financial market when investors are aymmetrically informed, by using the methodology of game theory. We will show that bid-ask spread is increasing in probability of insider trading. Dynamic trading models suggest that insider?s informational advantage over market-maker is diminishing in time. By using sequential trading models we can explain various types of market manipulations and stock market crashes.

In this paper, we attempt to explore the nature of the linkage relation of liquidity with market structure. Owing to his function of serving liquidity immediacy, the market maker determines his transacting prices (bid and ask) with all other operators. Accordingly, via his bid-ask spread, he does orient the transaction flow. This study shuts for testing a measure of market liquidity via the bid-ask spread via Stoll Model methodology (1989) on the covariance s’ regressions on Tunis stock market over a period stretching from January 2005 until January 2012. The results show that the higher the spread; the less liquid is the market.

Since inception, the growth of the Indian stock market has been constrained through unethical, illegal and self-actualized activities of swanky persons involved in different capacities in the market. The stock market was trying to retrieve itself from the devastating effect of Harshad Mehta share market scam, when within a gap of ten years it was once again pushed into the darkness of the dungeon by another demon-child of the country- Ketan Parekh. Corporations have been looted by the insider traders, diversifying internal information to an external in lieu of cash. Investigations in the majority cases have proved the involvement of the high ranking officers of the companies in the crime, sophistically referred to as white-collar crime. It has an adverse impact on the growth and sustainability of the share market. Under the light of the above issue, this paper endeavors to study the impact of such crime on the share market. It focuses on the mechanism behind the insider-trading, its impact on the share market and the regulators supervision on the issue. Finally, suggestions have been provided which will contribute towards the dream of every Indian-a fraud-free share market focusing towards the overall development of the country.

This research emerges with internal financial constraint. How financial constraint may lead to economic recess or back. This financial constraint is different than external finance constraint, and is not due to lack of gold, etc. It explains the positive relationship between excess return in stock market (ERSM) and non-real funding or riskier credit. The matter comes under imperfect market banking. It includes subsequently banking behavior and failure of central bank policy to control individual banks under these circumstances. In addition, it presents measures to get awareness before default comes, as financial default rare and crisis in financial market comes much before that.

Securitization of the agricultural commodity market has accelerated since the beginning of the 21st century, particularly in the times of financial market uncertainty and crisis. Sugar belongs to the group of important agricultural commodities. The global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a substantial increase in the stock market volatility. Moreover, the novel coronavirus hit both the sugar market’s supply and demand side, resulting in sugar stock changes. The paper aims to assess potential structural changes in the relationship between sugar prices and the financial market uncertainty in a crisis time. In more detail, using sequential Bai–Perron tests for structural breaks, we check whether the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have induced structural breaks in that relationship. Sugar prices are represented by the S&P GSCI Sugar Index, while the S&P 500 option-implied volatility index (VIX) is used to show stock market uncertainty. To investigate the changes in the relationship between sugar prices and stock market uncertainty, a regression model with a sequential Bai–Perron test for structural breaks is applied for the daily data from 2000–2020. We reveal the existence of two structural breaks in the analysed relationship. The first breakpoint was linked to the global financial crisis outbreak, and the second occurred in December 2011. Surprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has not induced the statistically significant structural change. Based on the regression model with Bai–Perron structural changes, we show that from 2000 until the beginning of the global financial crisis, the relationship between the sugar prices and the financial market uncertainty was insignificant. The global financial crisis led to a structural change in the relationship. Since August 2008, we observe a significant and negative relationship between the S&P GSCI Sugar Index and the S&P 500 option-implied volatility index (VIX). Sensitivity analysis conducted for the different financial market uncertainty measures, i.e., the S&P 500 Realized Volatility Index confirms our findings.
