The components of electronic order-driven spot FX bid-ask spreads pre- and post-EMU
This paper applies an established bid-ask spread decomposition model to spot foreign exchange market in order to assess the impact of European Monetary Union (EMU). Additionally, the paper presents and tests a modified decomposition model which is specifically adapted to the features of order-driven markets. The latter model provides much improved performance. Price clustering is introduced as a new explanatory factor within this framework and is shown to be vitally important in understanding the bid-ask spread and price determination.

Abstract

This paper applies an established bid-ask spread decomposition model to spot foreign exchange market in order to assess the impact of European Monetary Union (EMU). Additionally, the paper presents and tests a modified decomposition model which is specifically adapted to the features of order-driven markets. The latter model provides much improved performance. Price clustering is introduced as a new explanatory factor within this framework and is shown to be vitally important in understanding the bid-ask spread and price determination.
