The research aims to identify the informational feedback from markets to corporate decisions and explore the implications of this feedback effect for financial markets' equilibrium and economic efficiency.
The current trends of information technology under the FinTech revolution have changed the nature of information processing in financial markets, which may have implications for the feedback effect. The financial markets' role in the discovery of information is discussed along with the current trends of financial markets and the FinTech revolution.
The paper concludes by discussing the current state of research in this field and outlining directions for future research. Additionally, a keynote speech based on this report is provided to provide further insights into the current state of research in finance.
