Abstract

The study's objective is to compare sustainability (Thailand Sustainability Index: THSI) and non-sustainability stocks (Non-THSI) on the Thailand stock exchange from 2016 to 2021. The comparison of asymmetric information by VPIN and the response to returns by impulse response function are our objectives. As a result, the symmetric information of the THSI stocks is not better than the Non-THSI stocks. Nevertheless, the responsiveness of the THSI stock returns to asymmetric information shock is shorter. In summary, the asymmetric information for the THSI stocks is not better than the Non-THSI, though the effect on the return to shock in asymmetric information is shorter. Consequently, with a sudden change in asymmetric information, investing in the THSI stocks guard investors against return volatility.
