information asymmetry  

Definición

  • The term information asymmetry describes a circumstance in which the parties involved in a situation—typically a transaction, as the term originates in economics—include one party who has more information or more accurate information than the other party or parties. Such asymmetries lead to imbalances of power, which can harm the least-informed party and may develop into deeper and more disastrous problems.
