Abstract
The purpose was to investigate whether the Merton
Model works in emerging markets and if it
does how efficient it works there compared to in
mature markets. Findings show that the Merton model works in emerging
markets and considers country specific information, yet
only through stock prices and volatility. However, the
model does not account for quality and availability of
information in these countries which in turn have a
negative impact on market efficiency.
