One Day in the Life of a Very Common Stock

David Easley, Nicholas Kiefer () and Maureen O'Hara

The Review of Financial Studies, 1997, vol. 10, issue 3, 805-35

Abstract: Using the model structure of Easley and O'Hara, we demonstrate how the parameters of the market-maker's beliefs can be estimated from trade data. We show how to extract information from both trade and no-trade intervals, and how intraday and interday data provide information. We derive and evaluate tests of model specification and estimate the information content of differential trade sizes. Our work provides a framework for testing extant microstructure models, shows how to extract the information contained in the trading process, and demonstrates the empirical importance of asymmetric information models for asset prices.
