MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the market structure at the opening and its influence on subsequent trading. In particular, we measure the market effciency of a pre-opening call market (CM) followed by a continuous double auction (CDA) focusing on the role of information. Aimed by Weigelt (1991), Theissen (2000) and Hinterleitner at al. (2015) we check whether the introduction of a call market leads to underreaction among agents' bids, improving market efficiency. Results evidence a positive correlation between pre-opening price and subsequent prices traded and a lower price-dividend deviation in case of high quality information.
