Abstract: The impact of web datasets on market prices has suggested the development of new sources of information, such as social media and web portals, indicating the possibility of an emergent phenomenon. We propose a defining perspective, termed open information, that adds to the existing types of public and private information. We demonstrate their existence and justify material significance for pricing. In this respect, we present statistical hypotheses to test for a web dataset, GDELT, integrated for carbon pricing, that is represented by EU Allowance spot prices. Tests are designed with VAR and GARCH-X formulations, and return forecasting. The outcomes cannot rule out the material existence of open information. The result is significant for providing a conceptual basis to integrate a vast number of web datasets as alternative data in investment decisions.
