摘要

我们研究了 2019 年 10 月折扣经纪商广泛采用零佣金交易前后零售交易成本的经济学基础。我们对参与经纪商的 606 规则申报和财务报表的分析表明,订单流的支付变化不大,这表明经纪商在竞争环境中消化了取消佣金的成本。然后,我们对有效价差进行了差异分析,并报告了佣金变化前后零售执行成本在经济上的微小变化。最后,我们将零售组合的总交易成本与一系列反事实进行了比较评估。我们发现,在零佣金变化之后,即使在这些交易者支付交易所报价价差并获得零价格改善的极端反事实情况下,零售交易总成本也大幅下降。我们的研究结果支持了经纪业关于降低佣金有助于散户投资者的说法,并应减轻监管机构对相反情况的担忧。

How free is free? Retail trading costs with zero commissions

We examine the economics that underlie retail trading costs around discount brokers’ widespread adoption of zero commission trading in October 2019. Our analysis of participating brokers’ Rule 606 filings and financial statements reveals little change in payment for order flow, which suggests brokers absorbed the cost of eliminating commissions in a competitive environment. We then perform a difference-in-differences analysis of effective spreads and report economically trivial changes in retail execution costs around the commission change. Finally, we assess the total trading costs of an aggregate retail portfolio compared to a host of counterfactuals. We find that following the zero-commission change, total retail transaction costs dropped substantially even under the extreme counterfactual that these traders pay exchange quoted spreads and receive zero price improvement. Our findings support the brokerage industry's claim that dropping commissions helped retail investors and should ease regulators’ concerns to the contrary.
