Tiivistelmä: | Data from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is used to analyze price formation and liquidity in a non-anonymous environment with similarities to the floor of the NYSE. The main hypothesis is that the non-anonymity allows the specialist to assess the probability that a trader trades on the basis of private information. She uses this knowledge to price discriminate. This can be achieved by quoting a large spread and granting price improvement to traders deemed uninformed. Consistent with the hypothesis it is found that price improvement reflects lower adverse selection costs but does not lead to a reduction in the specialist's profit. |
