Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the functions impulsions-response of liquidity on the Tunisian Stock Exchange (TSE). We will use the methodology proposed by Abrigo and Love (2016). Our study is done on an order-driven market. The data is composed of high frequency data of orders listed on the TSE for the period April 2014 to June 2014. Inspired of the study of Jarnecic and Snape (2014), we apply a panel VAR model to stocks traded in continuous in order to examine the dynamic interactions between spread, volatility, size and frequency of transactions. Then we study the liquidity of the TSE through the impulse response function of the Panel VAR model. Our findings show dynamic relationships between spread, volatility, size and frequency of trading. Some differences exist in the dynamics of liquidity when we take into account the trading intensity of the stock. Furthermore, we note that shocks are absorbed after three gaps of 45minutes.
