Download or read book Liquidity Beyond the Inside Spread written by Paul J. Irvine and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World equity markets increasingly convert to electronic trading, in many cases adopting the format of a pure electronic order book without intermediaries. A distinguishing feature of this format is that a high proportion of available liquidity is committed (displayed) rather than implicit or hidden. We examine the properties of a measure of liquidity, the Cost of Round Trip trade (CRT), which aggregates the status of the limit order book at any moment in time for a specific transaction size. CRT, which measures the ex ante committed liquidity immediately available in the market, complements the effective spread, which measures the ex post combination of the committed and hidden liquidity available over a period of time. We use data from the Toronto Stock Exchange to compare CRT to the quoted and effective spreads, and estimate its ability to predict the subsequent trading activity. While we propose CRT as a research tool, we also advocate its use by exchanges to indicate to investors the level of committed liquidity.

Download or read book Determinants of Liquidity in Open Electronic Limit Order Book Market written by Santosh Kumar and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, many emerging capital markets have undergone drastic changes in terms of market microstructure changes, specifically in secondary markets. One of the policy concerns is the improvement of liquidity in markets. We study the various determinants of liquidity with reference to Indian stock market. There is no consensus on the proxies of liquidity in the financial markets. We calculate impact cost as the proxy for liquidity. It captures the trade size information as well as price information. It is better than highly popular proxy, bid-ask spread, as it provides information beyond the inside quotes. We estimate the fixed effect panel data model to analyse the variation in level as well as volatility of liquidity. We show that 58% of the cross sectional and time series variation is captured by adverse selection risk proxies, inventory risk proxies, and time dummies. Even after controlling the firm specific factors, we still observe the annual and monthly systematic pattern in the liquidity in emerging stock markets.
Download or read book Econometric Modelling of Stock Market Intraday Activity written by Luc Bauwens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 25 years, applied econometrics has undergone tremen dous changes, with active developments in fields of research such as time series, labor econometrics, financial econometrics and simulation based methods. Time series analysis has been an active field of research since the seminal work by Box and Jenkins (1976), who introduced a gen eral framework in which time series can be analyzed. In the world of financial econometrics and the application of time series techniques, the ARCH model of Engle (1982) has shifted the focus from the modelling of the process in itself to the modelling of the volatility of the process. In less than 15 years, it has become one of the most successful fields of 1 applied econometric research with hundreds of published papers. As an alternative to the ARCH modelling of the volatility, Taylor (1986) intro duced the stochastic volatility model, whose features are quite similar to the ARCH specification but which involves an unobserved or latent component for the volatility. While being more difficult to estimate than usual GARCH models, stochastic volatility models have found numerous applications in the modelling of volatility and more particularly in the econometric part of option pricing formulas. Although modelling volatil ity is one of the best known examples of applied financial econometrics, other topics (factor models, present value relationships, term structure 2 models) were also successfully tackled.

Download or read book Liquidity Beyond the Best Quote written by Wenjin Kang and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) limit order book at both the aggregate market level and the individual stock level based on a sample covering all the NYSE ordinary stocks. By providing detailed description of the limit order book, we show that it supplies considerable amount of liquidity beyond the best quote posted on the market. At the aggregate market level, we find volatility is a key factor that determines the liquidity provided by limit order book. When expected market volatility increases, the book becomes more dispersed and its liquidity provision decreases; this in turn leads to high realized volatility in the future. Past market movements, especially market declines, exert significant impact on the book as well. The stock-level analysis suggests that small stock's limit order book is more sensitive to volatility and market declines than that of large stocks, and volatility and returns mainly affect the systematic component of the liquidity provided by individual stock's limit order book.

Download or read book Liquidity written by Robert A. Schwartz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In market structure, we tend to be equity focused, but one of the challenges is liquidity creation. This book examines liquidity creation and regulation. Based on the Baruch College Financial Markets Conference, Liquidity: How to Find it, Regulate it, Get it, this book examines the following questions: Where does liquidity come from? How should liquidity be supplied? What is needed when creating a new platform to provide an environment of liquidity? How do you prepare for liquidity provision concerning market investors, regulatory infrastructure, and technical infrastructure? How do you create liquidity in different asset classes? What is the role of the alternative trading system (ATS) structure within the exchange regulatory framework? What global trends are affecting liquidity creation? Also covered are the popularity of indexing, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Robo-advisers (Robos); how technology is transforming liquidity provision, mid and small-cap liquidity provision and new approaches to liquidity creation. An interview with Former Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Michael S. Piwowar is also featured. The Zicklin School of Business Financial Markets Series presents the insights emerging from a sequence of conferences hosted by the Zicklin School at Baruch College for industry professionals, regulators, and scholars. Much more than historical documents, the transcripts from the conferences are edited for clarity, perspective and context; material and comments from subsequent interviews with the panellists and speakers are integrated for a complete thematic presentation. Each book is focused on a well delineated topic, but all deliver broader insights into the quality and efficiency of the U.S. equity markets and the dynamic forces changing them.

Download or read book Inside and Outside Liquidity written by Bengt Holmstrom and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two leading economists develop a theory explaining the demand for and supply of liquid assets. Why do financial institutions, industrial companies, and households hold low-yielding money balances, Treasury bills, and other liquid assets? When and to what extent can the state and international financial markets make up for a shortage of liquid assets, allowing agents to save and share risk more effectively? These questions are at the center of all financial crises, including the current global one. In Inside and Outside Liquidity, leading economists Bengt Holmström and Jean Tirole offer an original, unified perspective on these questions. In a slight, but important, departure from the standard theory of finance, they show how imperfect pledgeability of corporate income leads to a demand for as well as a shortage of liquidity with interesting implications for the pricing of assets, investment decisions, and liquidity management. The government has an active role to play in improving risk-sharing between consumers with limited commitment power and firms dealing with the high costs of potential liquidity shortages. In this perspective, private risk-sharing is always imperfect and may lead to financial crises that can be alleviated through government interventions.
Download or read book Market Liquidity written by Thierry Foucault and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The process by which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. This book offers a more accurate and authoritative take on this process. The book starts from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that participants have quite diverse information about the security's fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security's actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. The book takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. The authors draw on a vast body of theoretical insights and empirical findings on security price formation that have come to form a well-defined field within financial economics known as "market microstructure." Focusing on liquidity and price discovery, the book analyzes the tension between the two, pointing out that when price-relevant information reaches the market through trading pressure rather than through a public announcement, liquidity may suffer. It also confronts many striking phenomena in securities markets and uses the analytical tools and empirical methods of market microstructure to understand them. These include issues such as why liquidity changes over time and differs across securities, why large trades move prices up or down, and why these price changes are subsequently reversed, and why we observe temporary deviations from asset fair values"--

This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News Professor Cheng-Few Lee ranks #1 based on his publications in the 26 core finance journals, and #163 based on publications in the 7 leading finance journals (Source: Most Prolific Authors in the Finance Literature: 1959-2008 by Jean L Heck and Philip L Cooley (Saint Joseph's University and Trinity University). Market microstructure is the study of how markets operate and how transaction dynamics can affect security price formation and behavior. The impact of microstructure on all areas of finance has been increasingly apparent. Empirical microstructure has opened the door for improved transaction cost measurement, volatility dynamics and even asymmetric information measures, among others. Thus, this field is an important building block towards understanding today's financial markets. One of the pioneers in the field of market microstructure is David K Whitcomb, who retired from Rutgers University in 1999 after 25 years of service. David generously funded the David K Whitcomb Center for Research in Financial Services, located at Rutgers University. The Center organized a conference at Rutgers in his honor. This conference showcased papers and research conducted by the leading luminaries in the field of microstructure and drew a broad and illustrious audience of academicians, practitioners and former students, all who came to pay tribute to David K Whitcomb. Most of the papers in this volume were presented at that conference and the contributions to this volume are a lasting bookmark in microstructure. The coverage of topics on this volume is broad, ranging from the theoretical to empirical, and covering various issues from market architecture to liquidity and volatility.
Download or read book Hidden Liquidity Inside the Spread written by Jim Holcomb and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a sample of 300 NYSE listed securities and excluding trade reporting facility trades, we examine the impact of order executions inside of the posted spread on market centers, an inside the spread trade(IST). The posted spread on a market center may differ from the National Best Bid and Offer Quote (NBBO). IST volume represents a substantial portion of daily volume executed at market centers, averaging 14%. However, only 51% of these trades improve on NBBO prices. Although the volume is substantial, cost savings from IST's is small, averaging $132 per stock day. We find evidence that hidden liquidity inside the spread tends to act as a loss leader, drawing additional trades after the successful execution of liquidity inside the spread. When an exchange's quotes are competitive with the NBBO, the probability of observing an IST is lower but when intermarket competition is high the probability of observing an IST increases. We find that IST's are generally uninformed. Our results are robust to firm size and trading intensity.
Download or read book The Microstructure of Financial Markets written by Frank de Jong and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of the microstructure of financial markets has been one of the most important areas of research in finance and has allowed scholars and practitioners alike to have a much more sophisticated understanding of the dynamics of price formation in financial markets. Frank de Jong and Barbara Rindi provide an integrated graduate level textbook treatment of the theory and empirics of the subject, starting with a detailed description of the trading systems on stock exchanges and other markets and then turning to economic theory and asset pricing models. Special attention is paid to models explaining transaction costs, with a treatment of the measurement of these costs and the implications for the return on investment. The final chapters review recent developments in the academic literature. End-of-chapter exercises and downloadable data from the book's companion website provide opportunities to revise and apply models developed in the text.
