Using 24 emerging markets during the period 1996–2016, this paper examines how market-level, firm-level financial integration and investor protection quality jointly affect Imbalanced Optimistically Biased Information Timeliness (IOBIT). Results show that financial integration and investor protection quality affect good and bad information timeliness asymmetrically. Market-level financial integration augments IOBIT while firm-level financial integration and investor protection mitigate IOBIT. The effect of firm-level financial integration in mitigating IOBIT is reduced when market-level financial integration increases and/or investor protection becomes stronger.
