the stock market liquidity and information asymmetry in the nonfinancial sector of emerging Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).This study
is based on a sample of four most populated sectors among a total
population of 12 non-financial sectors in PSX. The sample sectors are
textile, food, chemical & pharmaceutical, and cement while the data for
the said sample were collected for a period of 10 years, that is, from
2006 to 2015. The current quantitative data have been collected from
sources such as annual reports, published reports of the State Bank of
Pakistan (SBP) and official website of PSX. The findings of the study
were based on reliable models used for data analysis like the panel

proved that the institutional investors have positive and significant
effects on the market liquidity and information asymmetry while the
findings are in agreement with signaling theory.
