We provide empirical restrictions of a model of optimal order submissions in a limit order market. A trader's optimal order submission depends on the trader's valuation for the asset and the trade-offs between order prices, execution probabilities and picking off risks. The optimal order...

We provide empirical restrictions of a model of optimal order submissions in a limit order market. A trader's optimal order submission depends on the trader's valuation for the asset and the trade-offs between order prices, execution probabilities and picking off risks. The optimal order...

We present a method to estimate the gains from trade in limit-order markets and provide empirical evidence that the limit-order market is a good market design. Using observations on order submissions and execution and cancellation histories, we estimate both the distribution of traders'...

This paper analyses how the wage and employment decisions of females are affected by past workforce participation and hours supplied. Our estimation methods exploit the fact that, when markets are complete, the Lagrange multiplier for an agent’s lifetime budget constraint always enters...

This paper seeks to answer two questions: in models of executive compensation how important is hidden information relative to moral hazard, and how biased are empirical measures of moral hazard in econometric models that do not account for hidden information. An analytical stage of this paper...

We estimate a principal-agent model of moral hazard with longitudinal data on firms and managerial compensation over two disjoint periods spanning 60 years to investigate increased value and variability in managerial compensation. We find exogenous growth in firm size largely explains these...
