This study exploits a unique dataset to determine the relative contribution to price discovery of order flow originating from geographically dispersed ASX servers. It is found that transactions of traders on the Sydney, Chicago and London servers have a significant impact on price volatility....

Classical economic theory suggests that excess returns should be competed away as new participants enter the market. This is especially true for the profits from riskless arbitrage. Yet, there is conflicting evidence in the financial economic literature over whether high frequency trading (HFT)...

In their seminal Journal of Finance article, Miller, Muthuswamy, and Whaley (MMW) [1994] document that the observed mean reversion of changes in the basis of cash and stock index futures prices is likely illusory. MMW use a simple time-series model to suggest that the apparent mean-reversion in...

This study examines whether changes in the frequency of market clearing or changes in trading hours on competing exchanges that use different auction systems affect the volatility of futures prices. In particular, this study exploits a natural experiment in the frequency of market clearing of...

This study examines the impact of changes in data feed pricing schedules on the price discovery between competing venues, as espoused by Cespa & Foucault (2014). We utilize three exogenous events stemming from a staggered increase in the data feed price that transpired on the Chicago Mercantile...
