Market Dynamics Around Public Information Arrivals Angelo

I analyze the impact of the arrival of public information on the intraday trading of highly liquid stocks quoted on the Paris Bourse. Using the Reuters alert system, I gather a large sample of firm-specific news and analyze market behavior around news releases. I estimate the transaction cost components around public information releases. I find that there is a disclosure impact on both trading and order flow. I also find that trading around news releases is characterized by relatively small adverse selection and order processing costs, and high order persistence.
