Effects of market reform on the trading costs and depths of Nasdaq stocks
Article Abstract:
Research into the impact of reforms allowing ordinary investors to compete directly with Nasdaq dealers by submitting binding limit orders indicates that quoted and effective spreads have narrowed by around 30% as a result. The most significant benefits have been felt by investors in stocks in quite wide spreads before the implementation of the new Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The considerably higher trading costs among Nasdaq issues have therefore been largely eliminated. The Nasdaq market is still liquid, even though the trading costs to investors have been cut.
