Trading Frictions and Market Structure: An Empirical Analysis Abstract Market structure a¤ects the informational and real frictions faced by traders in equity markets. We present evidence which suggests that while real fric- tions associated with the costs of supplying immediacy are less in order driven systems, informational frictions resulting from increased adverse selection risk are considerably higher in these markets. Firm value, transaction size and order location are all major determinants of the trading costs faced by investors. Consistent with the stealth trading hypothesis of Barclay and Warner (1993), we report that informational frictions are at their highest for small trades which go through the order book. Finally, while there is no doubt that the total costs of trading on order-driven systems are lower for very liquid securities, the inherent informational ine¢ ciencies of the format should be not be ignored. This is particularly true for the vast majority of small to mid-size stocks that experience infrequent trading and low transac- tion volume. JEL Classi…cation: G12; G14; D23; L22.

The resulting lack of limit orders can cause notable price impact for market orders. It is crucial for the market players to know the duration of the correction and the possible long term effects of this kind of shocks. Based on the literature, we build up a vector autoregressive model to quantify the duration of the correction of market liquidity and explore the size of the critical market orders which drives to market shocks. -
Biden, Congress Should Defend Terrorism Sanctions Imposed on Iran
Research memo Biden, Congress Should Defend Terrorism Sanctions Imposed on Iran By Richard Goldberg, Saeed Ghasseminejad, Behnam Ben Taleblu, Matthew Zweig, and Mark Dubowitz January 25, 2021 During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing to consider Antony Blinken’s nomination for secretary of state, Blinken was asked whether he believed it is in America’s national security interest to lift terrorism sanctions currently imposed on Iran, including sanctions targeting Iran’s central bank, national oil company, financial sector, and energy sector. “I do not,” Blinken responded. “And I think there is nothing, as I see it, inconsistent with making sure that we are doing everything possible – including the toughest possible sanctions, to deal with Iranian support for terrorism.”1 Bipartisan support for terrorism sanctions targeting Iran goes back to 1984, when the United States first designated the Islamic Republic as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Since then, every U.S. president2 – Republican or Democrat – and Congress have taken steps to reaffirm U.S. policy opposing Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism and tying sanctions relief to Iran’s cessation of terror-related activities. President Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), if Iran returns to “strict compliance” with the agreement.3 Terrorism sanctions on Iran, however, should not be lifted, even if the Biden administration opts to return to the deal, unless and until Iran verifiably halts its sponsorship of terrorism. This memorandum provides an overview of Iran’s past and ongoing involvement in terrorism-related activities, a review of longstanding bipartisan congressional support for terrorism sanctions on Iran, and a list of terrorism sanctions currently imposed on Iran that should not be lifted. -

The statistical population of this study includes all of the companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. Using simple random sampling, 469 companies have been selected among the companies listed in the stock exchange and they were analyzed during the time period of 2009-2012. The collected data was analyzed using Wilcoxon test and Spss software version 19 and according to the results, there is a negative significant relationship between the indicators of liquidity (trading volume and price volatility and market depth) and trading halt. This means that these variables are reduced by applying trading halt. The Bid-Ask spread index is related negatively and directly to trading halt. This indicates that the value of this variable is increased by applying a trading halt. Therefore it can be concluded that trading halt is not an efficient mechanism in Tehran Stock Exchange. -

Market Depth and Order Size - an Analysis of Permanent Price Effects of DAX Futures´ Trades
Discussion Paper 98-10 Market Depth and Order Size - An Analysis of Permanent Price Effects of DAX Futures´ Trades - Alexander Kempf Olaf Korn 1 Market Depth and Order Size Alexander Kempf*, Olaf Korn** Revised version: February 1998 *University of Mannheim **Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) Chair of Finance PO Box 103443 68131 Mannheim 68034 Mannheim Germany Germany Phone: (+49)-621-292-1039 Phone: (+49)-621-1235-147 Fax: (+49)-621-292-5713 Fax: (+49)-621-1235-223 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this paper we empirically analyze the permanent price impact of trades by investigating the relation between unexpected net order flow and price changes. We use intraday data on German index futures. Our analysis based on a neural network model suggests that the assumption of a linear impact of orders on prices (which is often used in theoretical papers) is highly questionable. Therefore, empirical studies, comparing the depth of different markets, should be based on the whole price impact function instead of a simple ratio. To allow the market depth to depend on trade volume could open promising avenues for further theoretical research. This could lead to quite different trading strategies as in traditional models.

Hedging Or Speculation in Derivative Markets: the Case of Energy Futures Contracts
Applied Financial Economics Letters, 2006, 2, 189–192 Hedging or speculation in derivative markets: the case of energy futures contracts Cetin Ciner Cameron School of Business, University of N. Carolina – Wilmington, Wilmington, NC 28403, USA E-mail: [email protected] This study examines whether hedging or speculation is the principal motive behind trading in energy futures markets. This question is important since facilitating risk allocation is considered to be one of the main benefits of the futures markets, while excess speculation in futures markets could destabilize the underlying spot market. Studying the linkage between volume and subsequent price movements leads to the conclusion that hedgers dominate speculators in all of the markets examined. I. Introduction spot markets. Thus, the amount of risk allocation, relative to speculation, is important to regulators and An important benefit of futures markets to society, policy makers. along with price discovery, stems from the facilitation Ederington and Lee (2002) report on the first study of risk allocation (hedging).
