Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / stock market | | English term or phrase: informational assymetry | | Since studies on informational asymmetry and informational cascades consider that crises are more likely to occur when many market participants hold similar portfolio allocations, such a study would suggest that herd behavior may not be a major cause of panic on financial markets. |

Tal\'s term does not describe the meaning, because i-te\'imut is non-compliance, which is something quite different.
My suggestion is the easy way out? Why? Because it is straightforward, accurate, simple and self-evident?
It\'s not supposed to \'describe the meaning\' (which Tal\'s doesn\'t, in any case). It\'s supposed to be a translation. Does informational assymetry describe the meaning any more than i-simetriyut meyda does? I don\'t think so.

Re above:
Eynat -- reference military term \"lechima assimetrit,\" very commonly used in IDF these days, as the accepted translation of \"assymetric warfare\"
Exactly what I said: where an obvious translation exists, one doesn\'t need to \'describe the meaning\', only provide a translation.
(doesn\'t asymmetry really have more than 1 s?).
So: call it asimetriyut meyda if you like, but not i-teimut meyda which means information non-compliance.
