We research the properties of implicit transaction costs function for general-shaped limit order book. Equivalent conditions for linearity of the function are presented in terms of market liquidity. We also present a suitable functional form of implicit costs for order-driven market on the...

Dans ce papier, nous analysons les stratégies suivies par les investisseurs de grande taille, et en particulier celles utilisées par les donneurs d’ordres à quantité cachée, sur le marché parisien. A l’aide de données qui permettent de reconstituer le carnet d’ordres dans son...

Using 2000–2010 data for 84 stocks listed in the Spanish Stock Exchange (SSE) and 2009–2010 data for 240 stocks listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), we provide robust evidence of daily asymmetries in the contribution of ask and bid quotes to price discovery. Asymmetries happen in...

Using a stochastic sequential game in ergodic equilibrium, this paper models limit order book trading dynamics. It deduces investor surplus and some agents` strategies from depth`s stationarity, while bypassing altogether agents` intricate forecasting problems. Market inefficiency adjusts to...

This paper evaluates the informational content of an open limit order book by studying its role in explaining long run volatility. We separate liquidity-driven (transitory) volatility from information-driven (long run) volatility using a dynamic state-space co-integration model for ask and bid...

The symmetry of an electronic limit order book is studied using high-frequency data. Is the order flow generated by buyers of the same structure as the one by sellers or would factors such as short selling restrictions and information trading result in asymmetries in the order flow? A model...
