Watching Bond Liquidity from the Ivory Tower
The Wall Street Journal online
2015-09-22
“Average trading data is a very good starting point,’ says Indiana University Finance Professor Andrew Ellul, who specializes in market shocks. “But in some ways it’s conservative because you’re observing trading in a blue-sky market.” In a market downturn, actual liquidity is likely to be much lower, he says...

Do Financial Analysts Restrain Insiders' Informational Advantage?
Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis
2016 By collecting and disseminating price sensitive information, financial analysts should reduce firm insiders’ informational advantage with a consequent impact on trading dynamics and market quality. We empirically examine the impact of complete analysts’ coverage termination on stocks’ liquidity, price discovery and profitability of insider trading.
The Role of Risk Management in Corporate Governance
Annual Review of Financial Economics
2015 Failures of banks’ governance and risk management functions have been identified as key causes of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. This article reviews the empirical literature that investigates the relationship between governance structures and risk management functions as well as their impact on banks’ risk-taking and performance.
Stronger Risk Controls, Lower Risk: Evidence from U.S. Bank Holding Companies
Journal of Finance
2013 We construct a risk management index (RMI) to measure the strength and independence of the risk management function at bank holding companies (BHCs). The U.S. BHCs with higher RMI before the onset of the financial crisis have lower tail risk, lower nonperforming loans, and better operating and stock return performance during the financial crisis years.
Order Dynamics: Recent Evidence from the NYSE
Journal of Empirical Finance
2007 We examine investor order choices using evidence from a recent period when the NYSE trades in decimals and allows automatic executions. We analyze the decision to submit or cancel an order or to take no action. For submitted orders, we distinguish order type (market vs. limit), order side (buy vs. sell), execution method (auction vs. automatic), and pricing aggressiveness.
Reputation Effects in Trading on the New York Stock Exchange
Journal of Finance
2007 Theory suggests that reputations allow nonanonymous markets to attenuate adverse selection in trading. We identify instances in which New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) stocks experience trading floor relocations.
