The Effect of Tick Size on Price Clustering and Trading VolumeJournal of Business Finance and Accounting - Tập 25 Số 7-8 - Trang 849-867 - 1998
Allaudeen Hameed, Eric Terry
Proposals have been made for some stock exchanges to reduce the size of their trading tick in order to lower transactions costs and, as a result, attract more trading volume and firm listings. We investigate the impact of tick size on price clustering and trading volume when the minimum price change varies with price level. Controlling the firm specific variables, we find that a smaller tr...... hiện toàn bộ

In agreement with studies dealing with developed stock markets, the conditional variance is an asymmetrical function of past innovations, rising p...... hiện toàn bộ
