Book Synopsis Changes in Tick Size and Market Quality by : Marilene Roger
Download or read book Changes in Tick Size and Market Quality written by Marilene Roger and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research sheds new light on the impact of tick size on market quality in TWSE. Our market quality measures are spread, price impact, volume, volatility. We perform a difference-in-difference regression and find that bid-ask spreads decline markedly in the wake of tick size change, especially for large-cap and massively traded stocks. Price impact decreases, but volatility drop only for two of the three groups of stock assessed. The regression shows strong evidence that volume increase, however we believe that the rise in volume is only relevant for a particular group of stocks according to their price level. We also find that volume is correlated with volatility; where there is an increase in volume, volatility tends to increase and vice-versa. This also supports our predictions. Moreover, the empirical results show that trading cost might be increased for large liquidity demanders. Overall, the results suggest that the tick size reduction has no adverse effect on market quality.

Download or read book The Impact of Tick Size on Market Quality written by K.C. Chan and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies rely on the event-study technique to investigate the impact of tick size change on market quality. We take a more powerful approach by examining the market quality of a set of stocks which would experience the largest impact of tick size change -- stocks with prices falling around thresholds in the sliding tick size schedules. We choose the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong for our study because of its two desirable features: (1) it offers a wide range of tick sizes and threshold prices which allows us to gauge the differential impact of different degrees of trading cost savings due to the tick size reduction; (2) it displays limit orders beyond the best quote which is essential for drawing a correct inference regarding the impact of tick size on market depth.Like previous studies, we find that the bid-ask spread decreases and the depth measured at the best quotes decrease after the tick size is reduced. In contrast to previous studies, however, we conclude the market quality increase after a reduction in tick size. In addition to observing a smaller spread, we also observe an increase in the market depth, when it is adequately measured to take into account of the orders beyond the best quotes. Furthermore, the volume increases with the reduction of tick size as well. The biggest improvement in the market quality is found in smaller stocks, which see more economically significant changes in tick size than larger stocks.
Book Synopsis Tick Size Change and Market Quality in the U.S. Treasury Market by : Michael J. Fleming
Download or read book Tick Size Change and Market Quality in the U.S. Treasury Market written by Michael J. Fleming and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies a recent tick size reduction in the U.S. Treasury securities market and identifies its effects on the market's liquidity and price efficiency. Employing difference-indifference regressions, we find that the bid-ask spread narrows significantly after the change, even for large trades, and that trading volume increases. Market depth declines markedly at the inside tier and across the book, but cumulative depth close to the top of the book changes little or even increases slightly. Furthermore, the smaller tick size enables prices to adjust more easily to information and better reflect true value, resulting in greater price efficiency. Price informativeness remains largely similar before and after, suggesting that the reduction in trading costs does not result in increased information acquisition. However, there is clear evidence of an information shift from the futures market toward the smaller-tick-size cash market. Overall, we conclude that the tick size reduction improves market quality.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Tick Size on Volatility, Trader Behavior, and Market Quality by : Tavy Ronen
Download or read book The Effect of Tick Size on Volatility, Trader Behavior, and Market Quality written by Tavy Ronen and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use the American Stock Exchange?s May 1997 market-wide adoption of $1/16 ticks to examine several hypothesis relating to tick size reduction. Specifically, we consider volatility, other aspects of market quality, trader behavior, and specialist profits. The hypothesis that volatility is directly related to tick size is supported by significant decreases in both daily and transitory volatility. Consistent with the hypothesis that market quality improves after the switch, we also find that while bid-ask spreads decline, depths do not. While we find no significant changes in overall specialist profits, we develop a direct test of changes in professional traders? activity in ?stepping ahead of the book?, and find an increase in this behavior, suggesting benefits to market orders through price improvement. Finally, we develop and test a model that shows that stocks with spreads greater than one tick may exhibit significant narrowing of spreads following a tick size reduction. Our results are consistent with the predictions of our model.
Book Synopsis Decimalization and Market Quality by : Robin K. Chou
Download or read book Decimalization and Market Quality written by Robin K. Chou and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relation between tick size and market quality is of interests to both academics and practitioners. The decimalization on the NYSE offers a rare opportunity to empirically examine the effects of tick size change on market quality. This paper performs a thorough study of the influences of tick size change based on the first three pilot stocks and all the NYSE common stocks (the full samples). Our empirical results indicate that, consistent with the literature, both spreads and depth decline significantly after decimalization. Both decreases in spreads and depth suggest that traders whose trade size does not exceed the reduced depth will enjoy lower transaction costs after decimalization. However, the impact on large traders is unclear. This makes it difficult to determine whether the market quality is improved for all traders after decimalization.Our results show that volume per trade decreases significantly after decimalization, especially for stocks that are actively traded or traded with a larger order size. Such results demonstrate that, after decimalization, either small traders participate more frequently or there are more front-runners entering the market. To examine these conjectures, we examine the changes in degree of front-running surrounding decimalization, and show that the degree of front-running does increase, especially for higher-priced stocks. These evidences support that there are more front-runners entering the decimal pricing system. Furthermore, stocks with different characteristics have different reactions to decimalization. Our results lend support to multiple optimal tick sizes for stocks with different characteristics, instead of a uniform minimum tick size for all stocks.
Book Synopsis One Size Fits All? High Frequency Trading, Tick Size Changes and the Implications for Exchanges by : Thanos Verousis
Download or read book One Size Fits All? High Frequency Trading, Tick Size Changes and the Implications for Exchanges written by Thanos Verousis and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper offers a systematic review of the empirical literature on the implications of tick size changes for exchanges. Our focus is twofold: first, we are concerned with the market quality implications of a change in the minimum tick size. Second, we are interested in the implications of changes in the minimum tick size on market structure. We show that there is a large body of empirical literature that documents a decrease in transaction costs following a decrease in the minimum tick size. However, even though market liquidity increases, the incentive to provide market making activities decreases. We document a strong link between the minimum tick size regulations and the recent increase in High Frequency Trading (HFT) activity. A smaller tick enhances the price discovery process. However, the question of how multiple tick size regimes affect market liquidity in a fragmented market remains to be answered. Finally, we identify topics for future research; we discuss the empirical literature on the Minimum Trading Unit (MTU) and the recent calls for a minimum resting time for quotes.
Book Synopsis The Impacts of Tick Size Reduction in a Market with Multiple Tick Sizes by : Hung-Kun Chen
Download or read book The Impacts of Tick Size Reduction in a Market with Multiple Tick Sizes written by Hung-Kun Chen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the impact of tick size reduction on market quality, placing particular focus on whether a multiple tick rule helps to mitigate the impact of a tick rule size reduction in purely order-driven markets. Using a novel dataset covering an entire limit order book, our results suggest that the tick size reduction resulted in substantial declines in effective spread, quote depth, and market depth throughout the limit order book, whereas no significant effects on either trading volume or volatility are discernible. The multiple tick schedule does not eliminate divergence in the market quality for stocks in the same tick size group or across tick size groups. Within the same tick size group, spread and depth are reduced more for those stocks with lower prices, larger capitalization levels, and higher trading frequency. Across tick size groups, the impact of the tick size reduction is found to be stronger for groups where the original tick size was more of a binding constraint and for those groups which experienced a larger (relative) tick size reduction. Overall, our results suggest that a smaller tick size has reduced transaction costs for small trades yet impaired the provision of liquidity, particularly for large trades in high capitalization and more frequently-traded stocks. As a result, the net benefit of the new tick size schedule cannot be confirmed with certainty.
Book Synopsis Econophysics of Order-driven Markets by : Frédéric Abergel
Download or read book Econophysics of Order-driven Markets written by Frédéric Abergel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary goal of the book is to present the ideas and research findings of active researchers from various communities (physicists, economists, mathematicians, financial engineers) working in the field of "Econophysics", who have undertaken the task of modelling and analyzing order-driven markets. Of primary interest in these studies are the mechanisms leading to the statistical regularities ("stylized facts") of price statistics. Results pertaining to other important issues such as market impact, the profitability of trading strategies, or mathematical models for microstructure effects, are also presented. Several leading researchers in these fields report on their recent work and also review the contemporary literature. Some historical perspectives, comments and debates on recent issues in Econophysics research are also included.
Book Synopsis Trades, Quotes and Prices by : Jean-Philippe Bouchaud
Download or read book Trades, Quotes and Prices written by Jean-Philippe Bouchaud and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread availability of high-quality, high-frequency data has revolutionised the study of financial markets. By describing not only asset prices, but also market participants' actions and interactions, this wealth of information offers a new window into the inner workings of the financial ecosystem. In this original text, the authors discuss empirical facts of financial markets and introduce a wide range of models, from the micro-scale mechanics of individual order arrivals to the emergent, macro-scale issues of market stability. Throughout this journey, data is king. All discussions are firmly rooted in the empirical behaviour of real stocks, and all models are calibrated and evaluated using recent data from Nasdaq. By confronting theory with empirical facts, this book for practitioners, researchers and advanced students provides a fresh, new, and often surprising perspective on topics as diverse as optimal trading, price impact, the fragile nature of liquidity, and even the reasons why people trade at all.
Book Synopsis The MiFID II Tick Size Regime. Impact on European Equities Trading by : Daniel Fritzler
Download or read book The MiFID II Tick Size Regime. Impact on European Equities Trading written by Daniel Fritzler and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Professur für e-Finance), language: English, abstract: Before the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID I) was applied in 2007, exchanges were able to implement their own tick size without being concerned about competition, since trading was concentrated to the incumbent exchanges. The increased fragmentation and competition after the introduction of MiFID I in Europe started a race between the incumbent exchanges and alternative venues towards everfiner tick sizes in order to offer better prices and gain market share. Over the past few years, this trend has increased and caused adverse effects on the market quality. On March 3rd, 2018, MiFID II introduced a harmonized tick size regime that takes each stock's price and liquidity into account in order to address the negative impact of the \race to the bottom" that began with MiFID I. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to investigate whether the introduction of the MiFID II tick size regime has achieved its desired effect of positively impacting the European equity market quality. Therefore, I will study and summarize the existing literature about the general effect of tick size changes on security markets, whereby I distinguish between tick size changes that are caused by changes in tick size rules and price movements. Furthermore, I will introduce the main concepts of the new regulatory framework Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II / Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (MiFID II/MiFIR) with a focus on the new tick size regime and its consequences for the European market. The core of this paper is the empirical study on the effects of tick size changes brought about by MiFID II's tick size regime on market quality, using data from the German home market Xetra. I will first investigate the overall impact of the regime on the most frequently traded stocks listed on Xetra by observing different measures of liquidity, such as transaction costs, market depth, trading volumes and price volatility. In addition, I provide separate results for the different effects of decreases and increases in tick size. Secondly, I examine the impact of the new regulatory framework and its tick size regime on the market share redistribution in Europe. This allows to determine whether the contentious exemption of systematic internalisers from the regime creates an unfair advantage at the expense of regulated markets.

Download or read book Disrupting Finance written by Theo Lynn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access Pivot demonstrates how a variety of technologies act as innovation catalysts within the banking and financial services sector. Traditional banks and financial services are under increasing competition from global IT companies such as Google, Apple, Amazon and PayPal whilst facing pressure from investors to reduce costs, increase agility and improve customer retention. Technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing, mobile technologies, big data analytics and social media therefore have perhaps more potential in this industry and area of business than any other. This book defines a fintech ecosystem for the 21st century, providing a state-of-the art review of current literature, suggesting avenues for new research and offering perspectives from business, technology and industry.
Book Synopsis Tick Size, Spreads, and Liquidity by : Hendrik Bessembinder
Download or read book Tick Size, Spreads, and Liquidity written by Hendrik Bessembinder and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quoted and effective bid-ask spreads on Nasdaq are two to four cents per share narrower, ceteris paribus, when stocks trade with a smaller tick size below $10 per share. There is no evidence of a reduction in liquidity with the smaller tick size. The largest spread reductions occur for stocks whose market makers avoid odd-eighth quotes. This finding provides support for models implying that changes in the tick size can affect equilibrium spreads on a dealer market, and indicates that the relation between tick size and market quality is more complex than the imposition of a constraint on minimum spread widths.
Book Synopsis Market Liquidity by : Thierry Foucault
Download or read book Market Liquidity written by Thierry Foucault and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The process by which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. This book offers a more accurate and authoritative take on this process. The book starts from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that participants have quite diverse information about the security's fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security's actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. The book takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. The authors draw on a vast body of theoretical insights and empirical findings on security price formation that have come to form a well-defined field within financial economics known as "market microstructure." Focusing on liquidity and price discovery, the book analyzes the tension between the two, pointing out that when price-relevant information reaches the market through trading pressure rather than through a public announcement, liquidity may suffer. It also confronts many striking phenomena in securities markets and uses the analytical tools and empirical methods of market microstructure to understand them. These include issues such as why liquidity changes over time and differs across securities, why large trades move prices up or down, and why these price changes are subsequently reversed, and why we observe temporary deviations from asset fair values"--
Book Synopsis The Microstructure of Financial Markets by : Frank de Jong
Download or read book The Microstructure of Financial Markets written by Frank de Jong and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of the microstructure of financial markets has been one of the most important areas of research in finance and has allowed scholars and practitioners alike to have a much more sophisticated understanding of the dynamics of price formation in financial markets. Frank de Jong and Barbara Rindi provide an integrated graduate level textbook treatment of the theory and empirics of the subject, starting with a detailed description of the trading systems on stock exchanges and other markets and then turning to economic theory and asset pricing models. Special attention is paid to models explaining transaction costs, with a treatment of the measurement of these costs and the implications for the return on investment. The final chapters review recent developments in the academic literature. End-of-chapter exercises and downloadable data from the book's companion website provide opportunities to revise and apply models developed in the text.

Book Synopsis Corporate Payout Policy by : Harry DeAngelo
Download or read book Corporate Payout Policy written by Harry DeAngelo and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2009 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Payout Policy synthesizes the academic research on payout policy and explains "how much, when, and how". That is (i) the overall value of payouts over the life of the enterprise, (ii) the time profile of a firm's payouts across periods, and (iii) the form of those payouts. The authors conclude that today's theory does a good job of explaining the general features of corporate payout policies, but some important gaps remain. So while our emphasis is to clarify "what we know" about payout policy, the authors also identify a number of interesting unresolved questions for future research. Corporate Payout Policy discusses potential influences on corporate payout policy including managerial use of payouts to signal future earnings to outside investors, individuals' behavioral biases that lead to sentiment-based demands for distributions, the desire of large block stockholders to maintain corporate control, and personal tax incentives to defer payouts. The authors highlight four important "carry-away" points: the literature's focus on whether repurchases will (or should) drive out dividends is misplaced because it implicitly assumes that a single payout vehicle is optimal; extant empirical evidence is strongly incompatible with the notion that the primary purpose of dividends is to signal managers' views of future earnings to outside investors; over-confidence on the part of managers is potentially a first-order determinant of payout policy because it induces them to over-retain resources to invest in dubious projects and so behavioral biases may, in fact, turn out to be more important than agency costs in explaining why investors pressure firms to accelerate payouts; the influence of controlling stockholders on payout policy --- particularly in non-U.S. firms, where controlling stockholders are common --- is a promising area for future research. Corporate Payout Policy is required reading for both researchers and practitioners interested in understanding this central topic in corporate finance and governance.
