Prices are studied under fundamental analysis (Chapter 1), technical analysis (Chapter 2), time series analysis (Chapter 3) and factor pricing model (Chapter 4). For application, we consider event study and difference-and-difference estimation to examine various maker anomalies (Chapter 5).
For trading process, we first study how to characterize the outcome (Chapter 6). Then we study Roll model that shows how trading cost affects price movement (Chapter 7). Using inventory model, we show that the imbalance of buy and sell orders as a source of bid-ask spread (Chapter 8). By sequential trade model, we demonstrate how information asymmetry leads to bid ask spread and how trade impacts the price moving process as the market learns the underlying state of the world (Chapter 9). Then, we study how strategic behaviour of informed traders changes the trading outcomes in a strategic trade model (Chapter 11). Finally, we examine how behavioural model can be used to explain short-run momentum and long-run reversal of price (Chapter 12).
