We consider the role of special orders in informed traders' order submission strategies and their effect on the market price discovery process. Special orders, such as Fill-or-Kill and All-or-Nothing orders, are not entered in the order book; instead, they are executed immediately. This means...

In this paper, we apply network science to provide empirical evidence from global financial networks (GFN) to support the argument of the LFT. Using data from the World Bank and...

VaR_Delta-Normal is derived from a Put option, named PVaR_Delta-Normal and Expected_Shortfall, PSF_Delta-Normal – the latter a coherent measure – guaranteeing VaR can never be larger than the fund value. Current standard VaR_Delta-Normal uses covariances calculated from the entire...

VaR_Delta-Normal fails in two counts: subadditivity and potentially producing losses larger than its portfolio value. This paper solves the second inconsistency developing formulas derived from a put option, named PVaR_Delta-Normal and Put_Expected_Shortfall, PSF_Delta-Normal; the latter also...

Following previous research which established that liquidity commonality exists within one stock market over a short period of time, this paper finds that liquidity commonality also exists globally. Utilising a large number of stock exchanges and a twelve year research time frame, this paper...
