		| This paper examines the relation between pre-trade transparency and market quality in the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). Mixed evidence related to this relation has been reported worldwide. We analyze this relation using evidence from a change in the TSE disclosure policy in the 2000s. We find a positive relation between pre-trade transparency and market quality. This result implies that the change in the TSE disclosure policy was effective in improving market quality. |
