Abstract

This paper presents three different empirical price impact models. Using transaction data on the Australian Stock Ex change, we investigate the non-linear relationship between price changes and trading activity. We find liquidity fluctu ations also affect price impact. We also apply a VAR model for returns and order imbalance on actively traded stocks on the ASX. We consider models of price impact which have two components: temporary and permanent impacts, with temporary impact due to demand for immediacy and permanent impact interpreted as the information content of the trade.
