  • Does an Electronic Stock Exchange Need an Upstairs Market?
    Journal of Financial Economics 00 (2001) 000-000 Does an electronic stock exchange need an upstairs market? Hendrik Bessembindera*, Kumar Venkataramanb aDavid Eccles School of Business, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA bEdwin L. Cox School of Business, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX USA 75275, USA (Received: 2 March 2002; accepted: 13 May 2003) Abstract We examine the Paris Bourse, whose electronic limit order market closely resembles the downstairs markets envisioned by theorists, to test several theoretical predictions regarding upstairs trading. We present direct evidence in support of the Grossman (1992) prediction that upstairs brokers lower execution costs by tapping into unexpressed liquidity, as actual execution costs upstairs are on average only 20% (35%) as large as they would be if block trades were executed against displayed (displayed and hidden) liquidity in the downstairs limit order book. Consistent with prior analyses, the Paris data also support the Seppi (1990) hypothesis that upstairs brokers certify trades as uninformed. We also find that participants in stocks with less restrictive crossing rules agree to outside-the-quote executions for more difficult trades and at times when downstairs liquidity is lacking. These likely represent trades that could not have been otherwise completed, suggesting that market quality can be enhanced by allowing participants more flexibility to execute blocks at prices outside the quotes.

  • Blended Automation: Integrating Algorithms on the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange
    Blended Automation: Integrating Algorithms on the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange Daniel Beunza Yuval Millo SRC Discussion Paper No 38 May 2015 ISSN 2054-538X Abstract The recent automation of the American stock market has replaced floor intermediaries with trading algorithms, calling into question the sociological claim that markets are structured by networks of intermediaries. Our study examines the social nature of markets in automated settings with an inductive, qualitative study of the automation of the NYSE during the period 2003-12. It proposes the concept of blended automation to denote an automation design that preserves the social structure of a market. Our analysis of the Flash Crash of 2010 suggests that such design offers greater resilience to economic shocks. Our study contributes to the literature on technology in organizations by characterizing a novel automation design that reconciles technology with social relations, and contributes to economic sociology by outlining how automated markets can remain socially structured, pointing to role of politics, ideology and design in market automation. This paper is published as part of the Systemic Risk Centre’s Discussion Paper Series. The support of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in funding the SRC is gratefully acknowledged [grant number ES/K002309/1].

  • Stock Market Crashes: What Have We Learned from October 1987?
    his is the third article in a trilogy assessing the performance of the U.S. stock market. The first paper examined the historical record Tof volatility in the markets for bonds and common stocks, concluding that the volatility of the stock market has not increased in recent years but that bond markets are more volatile now than they had been in the 1970s (Fortune 1989). The second paper reviewed the recent literature on stock market efficiency, concluding that the Efficient Market Hypothesis, widely held in the 1970s and early 1980s, is not supported by the evidence (Fortune 1991). The existence of significant inefficiencies suggests that fundamentals do not play as central a role in market performance as has been thought. The purpose of this article is to investigate the possible reasons for, and public policy responses to, very sharp short-term declines in stock prices. The focus ~vill be the Crash of 1987, the most prominent stock market decline experienced in several decades. Of particular concern will be the role played by fundamentals and market mechanisms in this event, and the effects of recent financial innovations on the depth of the Crash. This effort has not uncovered the "smoking gun" that would make Peter Fortune the Crash a clearly understood phenomenon. In part, the inability to find "the" reasons for the Crash stems from the unique character of the experience; it does not allow easy generalizations. The Crash was the Professor of Economics at Tufts Uni- economic equivalent of a "hundred-year storm," a dramatic event on a versity.
