In this paper we empirically analyze the permanent price impact of trades by investigating the relation between unexpected net order flow and price changes. We use intraday data on German index futures. Our analysis based on a neural network model suggests that the assumption of a linear impact...

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Arbitragetätigkeit und Preisführerschaft eines Marktes anhand Kursänderungen des DAX und des DAX-Futures. Dem Gleichgewichtsmodell von Garbade/Silber (1983) folgend wird der Einfluß (imperfekter) Arbitragetätigkeit auf die...

This paper investigates the dynamics of the term structure of bond market illiquidity premia using data on German bond market segments which differ only with respect to their liquidity. We analyze the interaction between different parts of the term structure and identify economic factors that...

We develop a new family of estimators of the covariance matrix that relies solely on forwardlooking information. It uses only current prices of plain-vanilla options. In an out-of-sample study we show that a minimum-variance strategy based on these fully-implied estimators outperforms several...

This paper provides implied measures of higher-order dependencies between assets. The measures exploit only forward-looking information from the options market and can be used to construct an implied estimator of the covariance, co-skewness, and co-kurtosis matrices of asset returns. We...

This paper investigates the dynamics of the term structure of bond market illiquidity premia. We analyze the comovement of short-, medium-, and long-termilliquidity premia and identify economic factors determining them. Our resultsshow that the term structure of illiquidity premia is U-shaped on...

In this paper we develop the rst estimator of the covariance matrix that relies solely onforward-looking information. This estimator only uses price information from a cross-sectionof plain-vanilla options. In an out-of-sample study for US blue-chip stocks we show that aminimum-variance strategy...
