This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the relative bid-ask spread for the two classes of common shares offered by Telefonos De Mexico that are listed on the NYSE and the NASDAQ. The effects of security price, security risk, trading volume, number of market makers, and extent of informed trading on the relative bid-ask spreads for the two securities are examined before and after the listing of the NYSE issue on May 14, 1991. For the NASDAQ issue, we compare the pre- and post- period relative spreads and factors influencing them. The difference in relative spreads between the NYSE and NASDAQ issues is examined together with the suggested factors. Our empirical evidence appears consistent with the factors suggested by the inventory cost and adverse information theories as important determinants of the relative bid-ask spread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous empirical studies that decompose the bid-ask spread were done when securities traded in discrete price points equal to one-sixteenth or one-eighth of a dollar. These studies concluded that inventory and adverse-selection costs were economically insignificant compared to order-processing costs. Natural questions arise as to: (i) whether price discreteness allowed market makers to enjoy excess rents, thus reducing the significance of the inventory and adverse selection costs; (ii) whether discreteness decreased the traders' incentives to gather information; or (iii) whether methodologies previously employed mis-estimated the inventory and the adverse-selection costs. We show that the recent conversion to decimal pricing results in significantly tighter spreads. However, the dollar value of spreads attributed to adverse selection and inventory costs do not change significantly. Almost all of the reduction occurs in the order-processing component. As a result, inventory and adverse-selection costs now account for a significantly larger proportion of the traded spreads. A plausible explanation is that the minimum tick size constraint previously in place under fractional pricing allowed market makers to enjoy spreads that were larger than their actual costs.

Book excerpt: We develop and test a model that provides improved estimates of the bid-ask spread's cost components: order processing, adverse selection, and inventory control. The model incorporates three unique features: (1) a dealer's response to inventory imbalances is not static but depends on the size of the imbalance and the dealer's aversion to inventory risk; (2) active inventory management by a dealer will result in a stationary stochastic process for inventory; and (3) inventory management will influence the adverse selection cost component. We estimate the spread's components using intraday data for NYSE/AMEX and NASDAQ stocks. We also examine the impact of our model's features on the cost estimates. The results suggest inventory costs are higher and order processing costs are lower than previously reported.

Book excerpt: The need to understand and measure the determinants of market maker bid/ask spreads is crucial in evaluating the merits of competing market structures and the fairness of market maker rents. After providing a brief review of past work, this study develops a simple, parsimonious model for the market maker's spread that accounts for the effects of price discreteness induced by minimum tick size, order-processing costs, inventory-holding costs, adverse selection, and competition. The inventory-holding and adverse selection cost components of spread are modeled as an option with a stochastic time to expiration. This inventory-holding premium embedded in the spread represents compensation for the price risk borne by the market maker while the security is held in inventory. The premium is partitioned in such a way that the inventory holding and adverse selection cost components and the probability of an informed trade are identified. The model is tested empirically on a sample of NASDAQ stocks over three distinct tick size regimes and is shown to perform well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the behavior of the components of the bid-ask spread around earnings announcements. The authors find that the adverse selection cost component significantly increases surrounding the announcements, while the inventory holding and order processing components significantly decline during the same periods. Their results suggest that the directional change in the total bid-ask spread depends on the relative magnitudes of the changes in these three components. Specifically, the decreases in inventory holding costs and order processing costs imply that earnings announcements may have an insignificant impact on the total bid-ask spread, even when they result in increased information asymmetry.Copyright 1996 by American Finance Association.

Download or read book Adverse Selection Costs and the Probability of Information Based Trading written by Kee H. Chung and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior studies offer various empirical models to decompose the observed bid-ask spread into the adverse-selection and transitory (order-processing and inventory-holding) components. There is limited evidence, however, on whether the spread components estimated from these models indeed measure what they purport to measure. In this study, we show that the estimates of the adverse-selection component given by these models are positively and significantly related to the probability of information-based trading (PIN), after controlling for the endogeneity of the PIN and other stock attributes. These results provide direct empirical support for the spread component models examined in the present study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the components of the bid-ask spread in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE), which was recently characterized as a developed market. For 18 large and 13 medium capitalization stocks, we estimate the adverse selection and the order handling component of the spreads as well as the probability of a trade continuation on the same side of either the bid or the ask price, using the Madhavan et al. (1997) model. We extend it by incorporating the traded volume and we find that the adverse selection component exhibits U-shape patterns, while the cost component pattern depends on the stock price. For high priced stocks, the usual U-shape applies, while for low-priced ones, it is an increasing function of time, mainly due to the different magnitude of the order handling spread component. Our analysis shows that the order handling component dominates inventory effects, particularly in the first and last half hour of the trading day and hence we observe economies of scale in trading. Furthermore, the expected price change is higher in the low capitalization stocks, while the most liquid stocks are the high priced ones. Moreover, by estimating the Madhavan et al. (1997) model for two distinct periods we explain why there are differences in the components of the bid-ask spread.
