Market Microstructure and Price Discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of this study is to investigate the evolution of a stochastic price process consequent to discrete processes of bids and offers in a market microstructure setting. Under a set of flexible assumptions about agent preferences, we generate a price process to compare with observation. Specifically, we allow for both rational and irrational economic behavior, abstracting the inquiry from classical studies relying on utility theory. The goal is to provide a set of economic primitives which point inexorably to the price processes we see, rather than to assume such process from the start.

Measures of Contributions to Price Discovery: A Comparison
This note clarifies the relation between two competing definitions of the contribution to price discovery in market microstructure models: (i) the information share and (ii) the common factor component weight. It is demonstrated that the two measures are closely related, but that only the information share takes into account the variability of the innovations in each market’s price.

متن کاملThe Microstructure of a U.S. Treasury ECN: The BrokerTec Platform
We assess the microstructure of the U.S. Treasury securities market following its migration to electronic trading. We model price discovery using a vector autoregression model of price and order flow. We show that both trades and limit orders affect price dynamics, suggesting that traders also choose limit orders to exploit their information. Moreover, while limit orders have smaller price impa...
متن کاملNew Findings in the Market Microstructure of Over-the-counter Markets a Dissertation in Financial Economics Submitted to the Tepper School of Business Carnegie Mellon University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
This dissertation studies the market microstructure of over-the-counter markets. All three chapters are based on the municipal (tax-exempt) bond market. However, the implications on price formation, price discovery and dealer’s market power can be generalized into the other OTC markets such as corporate bond and derivatives markets as well. In the first chapter “Price Clustering and Dealer’s Ma...
متن کاملRound-the-Clock Price Discovery for Cross-Listed Stocks: US-Dutch Evidence
U.S. trading in non-U.S. stocks has grown dramatically. Round-the-clock, these stocks trade in the home market, in the U.S. market and, potentially, in both markets simultaneously. We use a state space model to study 24-hour price discovery. As opposed to the standard “variance ratio” approach, this model deals naturally with (i) simultaneous quotes in an overlap, (ii) missing observations in a...
