We find that the response time is longer than previous studies have reported. Selling pressure, wider spreads, and higher volume remain significant for over an hour. We also find an immediate price reaction for overnight events; however, the market takes longer to react to events that occur when it is open. These findings may shed light on the efficacy of trading halts.10aFinance1 aBrooks, Raymond1 aPatel, Ajay1 aSu, Tie u/biblio/how-equity-market-responds-unanticipated-events-001480nas a2200169 4500008004100000245009100041210006900132260000900201300001200210490000700222520089200229653001201121100002001133700001701153700001201170856012801182 1999 eng d00aLarge Price Movements and Short-Lived Changes in Spreads, Volume, and Selling Pressure0 aLarge Price Movements and ShortLived Changes in Spreads Volume a c1999 a303-3160 v393 aIn this paper we examine changes in dollar and relative bid-ask spreads of stocks following large price movements. We investigate large increases and decreases separately and link our results to current market microstructure theories on trading activities and spreads. We also look at changes in volume and selling pressure to interpret the changes in trading activity. Our results show that the market reacts differently to price increases and decreases. For large price decreases, trading increases on the sell side even when spreads have increased. For large price increases, trading increases on the buy side during a period of higher spreads. However, the increases in dollar spreads and price pressure are most pronounced at the end of trading day. Our results are consistent with microstructure models that link trading activities and costs to the level of asymmetric information.10aFinance1 aBrooks, Raymond1 aPark, Jinwoo1 aSu, Tie u/biblio/large-price-movements-and-short-lived-changes-spreads-volume-and-selling-pressure-000516nas a2200145 4500008004100000245008100041210006900122260000900191300001200200490000700212653001200219100002000231700001200251856010700263 1997 eng d00aA Simple Cost Reduction Strategy for Liquidity Traders: Trade at the Opening0 aSimple Cost Reduction Strategy for Liquidity Traders Trade at th c1997 a525-5400 v3210aFinance1 aBrooks, Raymond1 aSu, Tie u/biblio/simple-cost-reduction-strategy-liquidity-traders-trade-opening
