The first half of the paper is devoted to description and implementation of statistical tests arguing for the presence of a Brownian component in the inventories and wealth processes of individual traders. We use intra-day data from the Toronto Stock Exchange to provide empirical evidence of...

Nirei and Scheinkman (2021) proposed an equilibrium model of price adjustments with menu-costs with a finite number of firms and derived a "reproduction number" for repricing and a limit functional form for the distribution of the number of simultaneously price-adjusting firms. We show that the...

We consider a stochastic game between three types of players: an inside trader, noise traders and a market maker. In a similar fashion to Kyle's model, we assume that the insider first chooses the size of her market-order and then the market maker determines the price by observing the total...

We propose a decomposition of algorithm's a priori performance, from which we sep- arate contributions came from different factors. We show that, in combining estimations on volume and price and always taking into account the price-impact effect, one is able to optimize the execution in a...

In this paper we propose a method to breakdown any price change at any scale time into a book-driven component and a deal driven component.Following recent empirical researches on orderbook dynamics, we build an estimate of the most probable next traded price (i.e. "expected price''...
