Coordination of Circuit Breakers? Volume Migration and Volatility Spillover in Fragmented Markets
(2017-01-27)We study circuit breakers in a fragmented, multi-market environment and investigate whether a coordination of circuit breakers is necessary to ensure their effectiveness. In doing so, we analyze 2,337 volatility interruptions ... -
Designated Market Makers: Competition and Incentives
