An analysis of business contexts in the field of empirical capital market research, especially on the stock market, has gained increasing importance. This has been driven to a large extent by the progressing globalization, liberalization and the generally evident trend of raising capital for companies via the legal form of a stock corporation.In the first chapter, the incentives to trade stocks and the information processing on the stock market are explained and then combined in a model for rational decision making under risk.In the following chapter, relevant parameters that lead to a shift in market equilibria are identified. Subsequently, the aspect of information distribution is examined in more detail and a model under simultaneous information access with heterogeneous expectations is described. The elaborated results are then subjected to an empirical investigation.The concluding remarks will address criticisms related to the model discussed.
How does the stock market really work? How are share prices formed on the stock exchange? Why are shares traded at all? Why is the trading volume sometimes relatively low when the share price rises?
