Motive and Opportunity: Order Choice in a Limit Order Book With Dispersed Information

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We test predictions of market microstructure theory relating to the determinants of order choice in a limit order book where information is dispersed among traders. Using an experimental limit order book, with a large state space, we find that informed traders exhibit patience, compatible with the ‘waiting game’ behaviour described in Foster ...
