An analysis of the impact of high frequency trading on equity markets

Papalexiou, Vasilios (2020) An analysis of the impact of high frequency trading on equity markets. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis investigated the impacts of high frequency traders on the equity markets. At a base level, high frequency traders improve market liquidity and efficiency because they both compete with and undercut each other, thereby benefitting slower traders. However, high frequency traders have increased both systematic and systemic risk within the equity markets and have also increased liquidity resilience commonality during unfavourable market conditions. Overall, the results suggest that high frequency traders contribute both positively and negatively to the market, thus making it difficult to draw a clear conclusion about their overall value to the market.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
