Mehr und mehr werden internationale Börsenplätze als elektronisches Handelssystem mit offenem Auftragsbuch gestaltet. Diese Form der Handelsorganisation ersetzt zunehmend die „klassische“ Form des Parketthandels mit zentralem Kursmakler. Sogar die weltweit wichtigste Börse, die New York...

Based on a structural model we analyze adverse selection costs and liquidity supply in a pure open limit order book market. Given the discontenting empirical model performance reported in the previous literature, we relax restrictive assumptions of the underlying theoretical model concerning...

Wenn Banken und Makler Kauf- oder Verkaufsaufträge ihrer Kunden nicht an die zentrale Börse weiterleiten, sondern eine Ausführung gegen das eigene (interne) Orderbuch vornehmen, so spricht man von einer „Internalisierung“ der Kundenorder. Dieses Vorgehen wird in der Europäischen Union...

This paper uses data from one of the most important European stock markets and shows that, in line with predictions from theoretical market microstructure, a small number of latent factors captures most of the variation in stock specific order books. We show that these order book commonalities...

This paper seeks to disentangle the sources of correlations between high-, mid- and lowcap stock indexes from the German prime standard. In principle, such comovement can arise from direct spillover between the variables or due to common factors. By standard means, these different components are...

Die Identifikation von Einflussfaktoren und deren Wirkungsrichtung auf die Kursentwicklung einer Aktie ist von großer Bedeutung für die Finanzmarktanalyse. Die wechselseitigen Zusammenhänge zwischen den Renditen spezifischer Aktien sind solche relevante Informationen. In diesem Beitrag werden...

As of April 23, 2001, the limit order book for stocks listed on Euronext Paris became anonymous. We study the effect of this switch to anonymity on market liquidity and the informational content of the limit order book. Our empirical analysis is based on a model of limit order trading in which...

We develop a model of limit order trading in which some traders have better information on future price volatility. As limit orders have option-like features, this information is valuable for limit order traders. We solve for informed and uninformed limit order traders' bidding strategies in...

This paper uses data from one of the most important European stock markets and shows that, in line with predictions from theoretical market microstructure, a small number of latent factors captures most of the variation in stock specific order books. We show that these order book commonalities...

We revisit the role of time in measuring the price impact of trades using a new empirical method that combines spread decomposition and dynamic duration modeling. Previous studies which have addressed the issue in a vector-autoregressive framework conclude that times when markets are most active...
