The Robert W. Kolb Series in Finance is an unparalleled source of information dedicated to the most important issues in modern finance. Each book focuses on a specific topic in the field of finance and contains contributed chapters from both respected academics and experienced financial professionals. As part of the Robert W. Kolb Series in Finance, Market Microstructure in Emerging and Developed Markets aims to provide professionals and students alike with a better understanding of how today's financial markets work. Engaging and informative, Market Microstructure in Emerging and Developed Markets offers a detailed look at one of the most dynamic areas of financial economics. While the theory of market microstructure applies to the exchange of real or financial assets, this book focuses on the microstructure of financial markets and thus involves trading a financial asset such as a stock, bond, or other instrument. Comprising five parts, this timely guide contains detailed discussions covering everything from the market microstructure of various financial markets and market architecture/design to price formation/discovery and transaction costs, timing, and information disclosure. You will also become familiar with a wide array of market microstructure issues related to emerging markets, such as the price behavior in new European Union emerging markets and stock market efficiency in emerging markets. Market microstructure is constantly evolving to keep pace with advances in technology, regulations, competition, globalization, and changing investor preferences. If you intend on keeping up with one of the most demanding areas of finance, this is the book you will need.
