Book excerpt: This dissertation analyzes trading behavior in financial markets from multiple perspectives. In chapter 1, "Exploratory Trading," I investigate the mechanisms underlying high-frequency traders' capacity to profitably anticipate price movements. I develop a model of how a trader could gather valuable private information by using her own orders in an exploratory manner to learn about market conditions. The model's predictions are borne out empirically, and I find that this "exploratory trading" model helps to resolve several central open questions about high-frequency trading. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on the trading behavior of individuals. Chapter 2, "Foundations of the Disposition Effect: Experimental Evidence," (co-authored with Johanna Mollerstrom), presents and analyzes results from a laboratory experiment intended to examine if and how "regret aversion"--aversion to admitting mistakes--affects people's trading decisions. Although the experimental results resolve little about regret aversion specifically, they reveal some novel and unexpected effects, most importantly that subjects radically changed their trading decisions when they were compelled to devote a minimal amount of extra attention. In chapter 3, "Price Targets," I analyze how rational investors who privately observe information of indeterminate quality use prices to learn about whether or not their private information is valuable. I derive implications about trading behavior that not only help to explain a variety of empirical puzzles, but also generate several new testable predictions. Although these three essays differ considerably in methodology and focus, they all address the same basic issue of understanding the foundations of trading behavior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological innovations are altering the traditional value chain in securities trading. Hitherto the order handling, i.e. the appropriate implementation of a general trading decision into particular orders, has been a core competence of brokers. Labeled as Algorithmic Trading, the automation of this task recently found its way both into the brokers' portfolio of service offerings as well as to their customers' trading desks. The software performing the order handling thereby constantly monitors the market(s) in real-time and further evaluates historical data to dynamically determine appropriate points in time for trading. Within only a few years, this technology propagated itself among market participants along the entire value chain and has nowadays gained a significant market share on securities markets worldwide. Surprisingly, there has been only little research analyzing the impact of this special type of trading on markets. Markus Gsell's book aims at closing this gap by analyzing the drivers for adoption of this technology, the impact the application of this technology has on markets on a macro level, i.e. how the market outcome is affected, as well as on a micro level, i.e. how the exhibited trading behavior of these automated traders differs from normal traders' behavior.

Book excerpt: The first part of the thesis consists of three chapters focusing on herd behavior in financial markets. Chapter one reviews the herding literature while chapter two studies a market where informed and noise traders show up sequentially and anonymously in front of a competitive and risk neutral market maker. Traders can in some cases observe whether some of their predecessors were informed, although they cannot observe their private in- formation. This creates an informational asymmetry between the traders and the market maker which generates herd behavior. I find that herd and contrarian behavior is gener- ated more easily in better-informed markets than in poorly informed ones. Informational cascades can never occur and the market learns in the limit. Moreover, I illustrate how a market dominated by herding features a price that is more informative of the asset value than the price of a market where traders always follow their signal. I also discuss how contrarianism has the exact opposite effect by decreasing price informativeness. In chap- ter two I consider the case of multiple trading rooms, where traders can in some cases observe whether some of the predecessors coming from the same room were informed. I first analyze herding conditions for the case of disconnected rooms where agents trading during the same time exhibit information correlation, and find that herding is more likely to occur in a market with positive correlation than in a market without correlation. I then link rooms by means of a network structure which dictates which rooms' predecessors one can observe. I check whether it is possible for a trader to herd with traders outside his own neighborhood instead of with his direct neighbors. I find that the answer to this question is negative and that herding cannot spread from one part of the market to another. Finally, I bring together information correlation and the network structure and I illustrate the example of a market where there are trading histories such that herd behavior can lead to the complete loss of information and, once herding has started, learning can be recovered only if noise traders enter the market. In the second part of the thesis I build a signalling model of delegated portfolio management where the manager can be of different qualities which affect the performance of the closed-end fund under his management. I find that in his effort to appear of high quality, the manager sends signals to the market which affect the share price of the fund in such a way that momentum and reversal are generated. While in the momentum phase, the price accumulates a discount with respect to its net asset value; during the reversal phase, the discount narrows and the price reverses back towards the net asset value of the fund.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the trading behavior of retail investors using large datasets and both causal inference and structural estimation methods. The study has two main objectives: to understand the heterogeneity across different investors and to quantify the price impacts of various trading behaviors. Chapter 1 uses data on account-level stock holdings to quantify the importance of different mechanisms contributing to stock booms and busts during the 2015 Chinese stock market bubble. By estimating a structural model of heterogenous investor demand, I find that retail investors account for 78% of the variance in cross-sectional stock returns, but the contribution of different channels varies as the bubble evolves. Chapter 2 studies retail investors' return-chasing behavior leveraging the same data on 18 million individual equity accounts. I find that return chasing predicts both investor returns and stock returns more strongly than various other investor characteristics. Chapter 3 documents the decline in the average profitability of IPOs in the United States between 2010 and 2022. This work provides valuable insights into the drivers of stock price fluctuations and highlights the importance of understanding investor heterogeneity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prices in financial markets are primarily driven by the interaction of risk and time. The returns to financial assets over long time horizons are primarily driven by fundamental news regarding their promised cash flows. In contrast, short-run price variation is associated with a large degree of predictable, transient investor trading behavior unrelated to fundamental prospects.

Abstract: Abstract of the thesis entitled Essays on Stock Trading Volume, Volatility and Information Submitted By Hanfeng WANG For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in June 2007 We focus on three topics that relate to trading volume in stock market in this thesis. In the first essay we find that trading volume not only contributes positively to the contemporaneous volatility, as indicated in previous literature, but also contributes negatively to the subsequent volatility. This pattern between trading volume and volatility is consistently held among individual stocks, volume-based portfolios, size-based portfolios, and market index, and among daily data and weekly data. These empirical findings tend to support that the Information-Driven-Trade (IDT) hypothesis is more pervasive and powerful in explaining trading activities in the stock market than the Liquidity-Driven-Trade (LDT) hypothesis. Our additional tests obtain three interesting findings, 1) liquidity and the degree of information asymmetry influence the relation between volume and subsequent volatility, 2) the effect of volume on subsequent volatility and volume size have a non-linear relationship, indicating that at least empirically there exists a most information-intensive volume for each stock, which is consistent with Barclay and Warner (1993, JFE)'s finding, 3) the effect of volume on subsequent volatility is asymmetric when the stock price moves up and down, and we attribute this asymmetry to the short-selling constraints. 2 In the second essay we examine the price and trading volume reaction around annual earnings announcements in the Chinese A-share and B-share markets. We document a reverting pattern in the CAR series around earnings announcement in A share market while the behavior of the CAR series in B share market is quite similar to that found in developed markets. We argue that the difference may be due to that some of the A share investors overreact to the information before the earnings announcement. Additionally, abnormally high volume occurs around the earnings announcement, in both A-share and B-share markets, however, contrary to abnormally high volume several days before the announcement in B-share market, abnormally low volume exists several days prior to the announcement in A-share market. Through cross-sectional analysis we find that abnormal trading volume on the announcement day, taken as an index of the surprise of earnings announcement, and the responsiveness of the market are positively correlated, and that the average return before the announcement is negatively correlated with the CAR after the announcement, which supports the A-share investors' overreaction to earnings announcement. We also find some evidence that A-share investors tend to be influenced by the market conditions. In the third essay we review the literature on herding behavior in financial market and build a new empirical model based on stock trading volume to detect the overall market herding behavior. With the model we find that in the Chinese stock market there is herding when the market moves up and there is no or little evidence of herding when the market moves down. For comparison we also extend the test to other international markets. Based on the empirical results we document with the Chinese market data we suggest canceling t

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: summa cum laude, European Business School - International University Schlo Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel, 205 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the existing empirical literature by investigating the strategic behavior of informed and uninformed traders under the light of recent developments. We observe their actual current behavior at financial markets and try to assess whether existing theoretical arguments and assumptions are still valid in the world today, or the newly available rich data samples provide new answers to old questions that researchers have not been able to answer before.
