The Impact of High Frequency Trading on Price Volatility
Vondřička, Jakub ; Vácha, Lukáš (advisor) ; Vošvrda, Miloslav (referee)
This thesis examines an impact of high frequency trading on equity market qualities. As an indicator of market quality, stock prices realized volatility is used. To estimate the high frequency trading activity, we implement a special method of identification of high frequency orders from quote data. Study of relation between high frequency trading and market qualities is incited by growing concerns about the welfare impacts of high frequency trading and connected activities. In order to test the dependence and causality between high frequency trading activity and volatility, we implement time-scale estimation techniques. Wavelet coherence is used to study localized dependence. The analysis is amended by a robustness check, using wavelet correlation. Results show inconsistent dependence at short trading horizons and regions of significant continuous dependence at trading horizons within hours. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
