Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This issue is a continuation of the previous successful Special Issue series.

This Special Issue concerns various theoretical, empirical, and experimental aspects of market microstructure, covering a wide range of topics. Theoretical market microstructure studies mainly focus on information-based models. In contrast to the model of efficient markets, market microstructure is concerned with how various frictions and departures from symmetric information affect trading processes. Market structure and design issues are important in this context. Empirical market microstructure research in actual markets depends on access to high-frequency data. Today, intraday data availability allows for empirical investigation of a wide range of issues in financial markets. Submissions related to price formation and price discovery, liquidity, dimensions of market liquidity (market depth, tightness, and resiliency), intraday patterns in various stock market characteristics, frictions in trading processes, and applications to other areas of finance (asset pricing, behavioral finance, corporate finance, foreign exchange markets) will be given priority. Moreover, experimental studies in an artificial market are welcome, as they offer a very promising way to test theoretical predictions regarding market design.

Profiling Turkish Cryptocurrency Owners: Payment Users, Crypto Investors and Crypto Traders

With ownership estimates of up to 25%, Turkey is at the forefront of cryptocurrency adoption, rendering it an interesting example to study the proclaimed use cases of cryptocurrencies. Using exploratory factor analysis based on a sample of 715 Turkish cryptocurrency owners, we identified 3 different owner groups and their underlying motives. The first group (payment users) looks at cryptocurrency as an option for payments, thereby disregarding its speculative element, while the second group (crypto investors) can best be described as experienced investors holding cryptocurrency as part of their investment strategy. The third group (crypto traders) consists of risk-tolerant traders. Further analyses show that groups not only differentiate by demographics, income and education, but also by factors such as ideology, purchase intention and the use of domestic or foreign exchanges. The results contribute to the understanding of Turkish cryptocurrency owners, their intrinsic and extrinsic motivations and can be incorporated into the pending regulatory processes in the country. The findings suggest that cryptocurrencies have outgrown the use case of mere speculation in Turkey. Those in the group of Turkish payment users are identified as potential lead users whose current needs may represent common needs for crypto users in similar markets in the future. These findings motivate further research on the diffusion and usage patterns of cryptocurrency in emerging markets and innovation in general in the context of lead markets. Full article

This study explores the dependency structure of S&P 500 survivor stocks. Using a hand-collected sample of stocks that survived in the S&P 500 since March 1957, we employ rescaled/range analysis to investigate survivors. First, we find nonlinearities in the return processes of survivor stocks due to Paretian tails. Second, the return processes of very long-lived outliers exhibit long-term memories with Hurst exponents that significantly exceed one half on average. Third, sample-split tests reveal that the memory on average has virtually not changed over time—that is, survivor stocks do not forget. Fourth, and last, the long-term memory of survivor stocks appears to be unrelated to their exposures to traditional asset pricing risk factors. Full article

A European Empirical Study of Institutional Differences in IPOs Anomalies

The present research shows the influence of institutional differences on the performance of initial public offerings (IPOs), both at the level of initial underpricing and at the level of 1-, 3- and 5-year performance. Our results represent a relevant empirical contribution to the international evidence because they allow us to test the influence of institutional differences on initial and long-term performance in a large database consisting of IPOs from 18 European countries, given that the European framework has been less analysed than the U.S. institutional environment. The main novelty and contribution of this research in relation to previous investigations is that those existing to date only analyse the institutional effect on the anomaly that occurs on the first day of IPO listing, i.e., underpricing, whereas this study is more ambitious; it considers the institutional effect on both underpricing and the long-term performance of the IPOs considered, which makes it possible to cover subsequent returns of up to 5 years after the start of the stock market listing. It is therefore, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive study to date on the effect of institutional factors on the two IPO anomalies: short and long term. Full article

Market Intraday Momentum with New Measures for Trading Cost: Evidence from KOSPI Index

Evidence on Market Intraday Momentum (MIM) has been documented in the United states and in some, but not all, major economies. The main results on MIM are broadly robust against transaction costs, which are measured by either quoted spread or effective spread. By using two new spread measures obtained from high and low prices, we show that these measures of transaction cost tend to become smaller toward the end of a trading day, thus establishing MIM in more than 10 years of the 30 min KOSPI index. We also report the solid profitability of such MIM-based trading strategies. Full article

Trading activity is an important characteristic of financial markets, since it is related to price discovery, volatility, and market liquidity. It is therefore of crucial importance to understand what drives trading activity in real estate markets. Here, we use a panel dataset consisting of 142 US REIT stocks observed over almost 20 years and a fixed-effects regression approach to link variation in trading activity to proxies for different trading motives (theory-motivated). The paper shows that the drivers of trading activity in real estate markets are distinct from those in the broader equity market. Proxies for portfolio rebalancing needs and liquidity trading are shown to be important trading motives in REIT markets. However, unlike in the broader equity market, difference of opinions and information-based trading motives seem to play a minor role for REIT trading activity. Full article
