The Next Tick on Nasdaq: Does Level II Information Matter?

Bruce Mizrach ()

Departmental Working Papers from Rutgers University, Department of Economics

Abstract: The Nasdaq stock market provides information about buying and selling interest in what is called the Level II display. Using a bivariate VAR model of trades and quotes, I assess the effect of Level II prices and depths on short-run quote dynamics. I also determine the influence of individual market makers and electronic networks and find evidence of strategic behavior. Finally, I produce a set of dynamic market price responses to buy and sell orders, and I find that these estimates vary with standard measures of liquidity.
