The Kyle (1985) model is extended to take into account market maker competition and the spread. It is shown that with a … spread the Kyle model has a Nash equilibrium also with two market makers, not only with three or more, as shown in earlier … research. The spread is endogenized, and two testable predictions of the model are generated. The first is that the spread is …

We propose the Volume Coefficient of Variation (VCV), the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of trading volume, as a new and easily computable measure of information asymmetry in security markets. We use a microstructure model to demonstrate that VCV is strictly increasing in the...
