Companies are cross-listed on multiple exchanges in different countries to take advantage of different market features. Due to difference in time zones, it is normally quite impossible to take advantage of instantaneous information spillover from market to market to generate abnormal return....

We study whether the presence of low-latency traders (including high-frequency traders (HFTs)) in the pre-opening period contributes to market quality, defined by price discovery and liquidity provision, in the opening auction. We use a unique dataset from the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) based on...

We explore latency arbitrage activities with a new arbitrage strategy that we test with high-frequency data during the first six months of 2019. We study the profitability of mean-reverting arbitrage activities of 74 cross-listed stocks involving three exchanges in Canada and the United States....

We find that US cross-listing of Canadian stocks enhances domestic high-frequency trading (HFT) activity in the form of both opportunistic trading and market-making. First, US cross-listing boosts HFT low-latency cross-border arbitrage. This highly correlated HFT arbitrage activity across...

Liquidity suppliers lean against the wind. We analyze whether high-frequency traders (HFTs) lean against large institutional orders that execute through a series of child orders. The alternative is HFTs trading "with the wind," that is, in the same direction. We find that HFTs initially lean...

We analyze price discovery dynamics for Canadian companies cross-listed on the NYSE from January 2004 to January 2011. We employ a structural vector autoregression to assess the interactions between price discovery, liquidity and algorithmic trading activity. We observe that over time, the U.S....
