First, we document temporary increases in the costs of debt and equity capital that coincide with key dates associated with month-end cash needs. Second, we present direct and indirect evidence on the role of institutions in the genesis of these patterns and derive estimates of the associated costs borne by market participants. Third, and finally, we investigate the limits to arbitrage that prevent markets from functioning efficiently. Our results indicate that many investors and their agents, including mutual funds, suffer from liquidity-related trading.\u0000 Received January 16, 2018; editorial decision January 2, 2019 by Editor Robin Greenwood.

{"title":"Uncertain Market Making","authors":"B. Z. Yueshen","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2667837","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2667837","url":null,"abstract":"This paper argues that market makers’ presence is uncertain over any short time interval, as their operations are subject to shocks and constraints of, e.g., capital, technology, and attention. Such uncertain market making implies a random pricing equilibrium in a noise rational expectations framework. Implications for risk, liquidity, and efficiency are discussed. A structural model captures from data the predicted dispersion of random pricing. In 2014, the estimated dispersion is around 10 times of the average price impact, compared to only 2 times in the early 2000s. The evidence suggests deteriorated short-run order flow pricing efficiency in the U.S. equity market.","PeriodicalId":103320,"journal":{"name":"Finance Down Under 2016 Building on the Best from the Cellars of Finance (Archive)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116127921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
