Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article examines the influence of foreign investor trading on information asymmetry in the Korean stock market, a representative emerging market characterized by a high level of information asymmetry between corporate insiders and outsiders, and among investors.

Our results indicate that active foreign investor trading tends to exacerbate informational variation.
