Purpose: The authors examine the relation between noise trading in equity markets and stochastic volatility by estimating a two-factor jump diffusion model. Their analysis shows that contemporaneous price deviations in the derivatives market are statistically significant in explaining movements...

Unlike closed‐end country funds that usually trade at large premiums to the values of their portfolios, exchange‐traded funds facilitate arbitrage to prevent their prices from deviating from their underlying values. However, such arbitrage can involve significant transaction costs, which...

We examine commonality in order imbalances across different types of securities and find that the extent of commonality is greater than previously documented. Order imbalances in portfolios of small stocks, large stocks, and closed-end funds have explanatory power for other portfolio returns...

Closed-end funds often trade at a discount to net asset value. Previous research suggests that the positive correlation in discounts is associated with investor sentiment that causes systematic mispricing by noise traders. We use a newly available sample of daily fund valuations to examine the...

While similar in their trading and organization, closed-end funds (CEFs) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) differ in their liquidity and ease of arbitrage. We compare their price transmission dynamics using a sample of funds that invest in foreign securities and are most likely to show the...
