Abstract

We construct a Kyle (1985)-type market model in which fast and slow traders are present. We perform numerical calculations after deriving the equilibrium condition, described as a simultaneous equation system. A major finding is that the fast trader, who has an advantage in trade frequency, acts as a liquidity provider, taking the opposite position against the slow trader if the difference in frequency is significant. Our theoretical results appear to be consistent with the empirical results of previous studies.
