Market reaction to temporary liquidity crises and the permanent market impact
2006
We study the relaxation dynamics of the bid-ask spread and of the midprice after a sudden, large variation of the spread, corresponding to a temporary crisis of liquidity in a double auction financial market. We find that the spread decays very slowly to its normal value as a consequence of the strategic limit order placement of liquidity providers. We consider several quantities, such as order placement rates and distribution, that affect the decay of the spread. We measure the permanent impact both of a generic event altering the spread and of a single transaction and we find an approximately linear relation between immediate and permanent impact in both cases.
Market reaction to a bid-ask spread change: a power-law relaxation dynamics.
2009
We study the relaxation dynamics of the bid-ask spread and of the midprice after a sudden variation of the spread in a double auction financial market. We find that the spread decays as a power law to its normal value. We measure the price reversion dynamics and the permanent impact, i.e., the long-time effect on price, of a generic event altering the spread and we find an approximately linear relation between immediate and permanent impact. We hypothesize that the power-law decay of the spread is a consequence of the strategic limit order placement of liquidity providers. We support this hypothesis by investigating several quantities, such as order placement rates and distribution of price…
