Disclosure, volatility, and transparency: and empirical investigation into the value of bank disclosure
The authors suggests that banks that are more forthcoming on basic balance-sheet items exhibit lower stock price volatility. About 600 banks in thirty-one countries over the 1993-2000 period are covered.
