Regulatory and Legal Pressures and the Costs of Nasdaq Trading

Author

  • Schultz, Paul

Abstract

The Nasdaq market came under intense pressure from regulators and class-action lawsuits following allegations of tacit collusion by Christie and Schultz (1994). This article examines the changes in transaction costs on the Nasdaq from January 1993 through June 1996 using 16 million trades in 30 stocks. Effective spreads cannot be matched. However, the autocovariance spread estimator of Roll (1984) works well with intraday data over this period. This spread estimator reveals that trading costs declined significantly for 29 of the 30 stocks over 1993-96. Article published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Financial Studies in its journal, The Review of Financial Studies.
