Marketwide private information and market volatility-volume relation
نویسندگان
چکیده
I investigate the different roles played by two components of trading volume, informed-trading and liquidity-trading, in the volatility-volume relation at the aggregate level. Using transaction data and an extended trading model of Easley, Kiefer, O’Hara and Paperman (1996), I estimate a marketwide private information arrival rate (PIAR) variable and use it to control for the informed trading component in trading volume. Contrary to the belief that aggregate trading volume mainly represents liquidity trading, my results show that the marketwide-private-information-trading component in aggregate trading volume is the underlying driving force for the positive volatility-volume relation.

The Relationship between Volatility and Trading Volume in the Chinese Stock Market: A Volatility Decomposition Perspective
We use heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model with high-frequency data of Hu-Shen 300 index to investigate the volatility-volume relationship via the volatility decomposition approach. Although we find that the continuous component of daily volatility is positively correlated with trading volume, the jump component reveals a significant and robust negative relation with volume. This result su...

متن کاملTrading Volume and Information Revelation in Stock Markets
I consider a market microstructure model in which the rates of public and private information arrival are probabilistic. The latter depends on the availability of private information that is stochastically changing over time. In equilibrium, traders estimate the availability of private information using past periods’ trading volume and use this information to adjust their strategies. The time-s...

This paper analyzes the causal linkage between transaction costs and financial volatility under two methodological improvements over the existing literature. First, we use panel data in which exogenous transaction cost differences in the French stock market are induced by price level dependent minimum price variation rules (tick size rules). Unlike in previous studies based on one-time regulato...
متن کاملProspect Theory and market quality
We study equilibrium trading strategies and market quality in an economy in which speculators display preferences consistent with Prospect Theory (Kahneman and Tversky, [39]; Tversky and Kahneman, [63]), i.e., loss aversion and mild risk seeking in losses. Loss aversion (risk seeking in losses) induces speculators to trade less (more), and less cautiously (more aggressively), with their private...
