Price transmission and information assymmetry in Bund futures markets: LIFFE vs. DTB

Article Abstract:

Transaction prices and bid ask patterns are collected and analyzed to compare the price transmission process and information asymmetry in the London International Financial Futures Market (LIFFE) and Deutsche Terminborse GmbH's (DTB) Bund futures markets. The Granger casualty test and empirical models were utilized to measure information asymmetry and determine the intermarket relationship between the Bund futures markets. Results show that a unidirectional lead in price transmission exists from DTB to LIFFE and that information asymmetry is higher in LIFFE.
