This paper investigates why traders hide their orders and how other traders respond to hidden depth. Using a logit model, we provide empirical findings suggesting that traders use hidden orders to manage both exposure risk and picking off risk. Using probit models, we show that hidden depth...

This paper compares the implications of different interest rate models for valuing the so-called OLOs (Belgian coupons bonds). The prices of these bonds implied by some well-known one-factor models are compared to the actual prices observed on the market. Our finding suggest that these interest...

This article examines how the introduction of an ETF replicating a stock index impacts on the liquidity of the underlying stocks when the ETF market involves liquidity providers (LPs). We find that index stock spreads decline, relative to those of non-index stocks, after the introduction of the...

This article examines how the inception of an ETF market impacts several dimensions of the liquidity of the ETF-underlying-index stocks. In contrast with previous research, our evidence is based on an ETF market where liquidity providers (LPs) act as market makers. We find that: (1) the market...

This paper compares difference continuous-time specifications for the short-term interest rate dynamics on five European markets. We propose a general specification which encompasses nine well-known processes of the financial literature. A classical estimation of the parameters leads us to the...

This paper checks the relevance of alternative spread decomposition models in an order-driven environment. Using intraday data from Euronext Brussels, we compute estimates of the bid-ask spread components provided by eight models. Our results support the hypothesis of no inventory holding costs...
