| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper, unique dataset (TORQ) to calibrate several techniques commonly used to infer investor behaviour from transactions data is used. Specifically, evaluated is the Journal of Finance 46, 733-746) algorithm for distinguishing trade direction. Examined is the use of trade size as a proxy for trader identity. It is found that, due to complexities in the NYSE auction process, up to 40 % of reported trades cannot be unambiguously classified as either buyer- or seller-initiated. However, the Lee-Ready algorithm is 93% accurate for those trades that can be classified. In addition, a firm-specific trade size proxy is constructed. |
