The Department of Financial Economics plans to offer the following courses in the 2008/2009 academic year: Asset Pricing Theory, Empirical Asset Pricing, Corporate Finance Theory, Market Microstructure, and Advanced Topics in Finance. For example, many concepts in market microstructure must become part of the core toolkit of finance. SPULBER, DF (1996) Market Microstructure and Intermediation. Can anyone point me to info that describes how options pricing works from the microstructure / trading perspective (rather than the theoretical option model perspective)? In contrast to previous studies in the literature, this paper applies measures based on the theoretical discussion. What is most troubling, is that micro similarities, as postulated by non-linear theory, tend to rapidly evolve into massively scaled topological disturbances, and thus a few simple resonant trades can rapidly avalanche into a major market destabilizing event. In a research paper by Reginald Smith of the Bouchet Franklin Institute in Rochester titled "Is high-frequency trading inducing changes in market microstructure and dynamics? India had the advantage of being able to use cutting-edge technology, which facilitated rapid reform in market microstructure and in regulatory norms. Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in the nineties, illustrates this process. The ontology of a non-market-system is confronted with the basic methodology of economics, which is based upon profit maximization and market selection. Market microstructure theory has some important messages about why macro underlyings become more liquid than securities issued by firms. An introduction to the different types of execution is followed by a review of market microstructure theory. The methodologies behind his research are motivated by both academic theory and his experience as a trading floor analyst. The above definitions derived from welfare economics are a subset of the public interest theory of regulation, which is broader than the concept normally used in economics. Professor Smith's research interests are in the areas of asset pricing theory and tests, the design of markets, market microstructure and derivatives, and his work has been published in the leading financial economic journals. In this video Gbenga Ibikunle describes his application of financial market microstructure theory to his study of price formation in the world's largest emissions trading scheme, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS). In general, market microstructure theory might be defined as “the study of the process and outcomes of exchanging assets under explicit rules” (Easley and O'Hara, 1995; p. We have modern portfolio theory, we have Black-Scholes, we have market microstructure, we have econometrics and actuarial science. Throughout the book examples from empirical studies bridge the gap between the theory and practice of trading. Secondly, forecasting models that incorporate sound economic theory, including market microstructure factors, are likely to outperform purely mechanical models. Microstructure measures are elaborated for assessing both market activity and liquidity of the euro area overnight money market.
