Market Microstructure Models and the Markov Property

Economics Working Papers from European University Institute

Abstract: This paper develops a framework to test alternative market microstructure models of the bid-ask spread. If, on the one hand, information-based models result in bid and ask quotes that are non-Markovian, and the other hand, the Markov property may hold in equilibrium settings where the market maker serves as an intermediary.
