| Abstract: | Daily spreads for NYSE stocks with average spreads likely set by the specialist, are found to exhibit spread behavior consistent with the fragmentation hypothesis - volume increases off board widen NYSE spreads. Stocks with average spreads likely dominated by limit orders exhibit a competition effect in 1987, but a fragmentation effect in 1988 and 1989 - volume increases off decrease NYSE volume, also widening NYSE spreads. As in previous research, increases in total volume are found to decrease NYSE spreads. |
