We study the topological properties of the multinetwork of commodity-specific trade relations among world countries over the 1992–2003 period, comparing them with those of the aggregate-trade network, known in the literature as the international-trade network (ITN). We show that link-weight...

We model the systemic risk associated with the so-called balance-sheet amplification mechanism in a system of banks with interlocked balance sheets and with positions in real-economy-related assets. Our modeling framework integrates a stochastic price dynamics with an active balance-sheet...

We implement a novel method to detect systemically important financial institutions in a network. The method consists in a simple model of distress and losses redistribution derived from the interaction of banks' balance-sheets through bilateral exposures. The algorithm goes beyond the...

We empirically study the market impact of trading orders. We are specifically interested in large trading orders that are executed incrementally, which we call hidden orders. These are statistically reconstructed based on information about market member codes using data from the Spanish Stock...

The article focuses on the market efficiency and the long-memory of supply and demand. The long-memory of supply and demand implies that there are waves of buyer-initiated transactions that are highly foreseeable with the use of simple linear algorithm. The authors stressed that the total price...

We study the price change associated with the incremental execution of large trading orders. The heavy tails of large order sizes leads to persistence in the signs of transactions: Buyer initiated transactions tend to be followed by buyer initiated transactions and seller initiated transactions...

Market impact is the change in price due to initiating a trade. In this paper we develop a new theory for average market impact based on properties of order flow, efficiency of price returns and other empirically testable assumptions. Our approach differs from previous efforts in that our...

Using data from the London Stock Exchange we investigate the influence of signed transaction order volume on current and future price changes. (Buy orders are given a positive sign, sell orders a negative sign). Empirical studies have shown that transaction order signs display long memory....

In this comment we discuss the problem of reconciling the linear efficiency of price returns with the long-memory of supply and demand. We present new evidence that shows that efficiency is maintained by a liquidity imbalance that co-moves with the imbalance of buyer vs. seller initiated...
