Funded Activity Summary

Understanding market mechanisms to achieve greater efficiency in institutional equities and futures markets. This project investigates the impact of high frequency trading on financial market quality. Financial markets are essential for capital raising and form a critical part of the Australian economy. Ordinary residents have billions invested in it through superannuation. Deterioration in market quality leads to poor consumer confidence, increases firms’ cost of capital and transaction costs, and ultimately reduces retirement quality. The proliferation of high frequency trading in financial markets requires a thorough understanding of their impact on market quality. This project aims to lead to more efficient regulation, improving financial markets and making Australia attractive to investors and enhancing the quality of retirement for residents.
