A Study Of The Effect Of Dark Pool Using Market Simulation, Wasin Surarak Jan 2017

A Study Of The Effect Of Dark Pool Using Market Simulation, Wasin Surarak

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This paper extend a limit order book model of security trading from Goettler, et al. (2005) by adding a dark pool which does not publicly display trading orders. This model is a sequential game with risk-neutral traders. We use a stochastic algorithm followed by Pakes and McGuire (2001) to solve a Markov-perfect equilibrium as the optimal action of a trader. We find that when added a dark pool, market quality worsens (market depth declines and bid-ask spread widen), and total fill rate decreases. The deterioration of market quality in a limit order book results from an order migration to a …


Plan Member’S Heterogeneity, Economic Regime Effect And Their Implication On The Management And Sustainability Of Retirement Funds, Thepdanai Danswasvong Jan 2017

Plan Member’S Heterogeneity, Economic Regime Effect And Their Implication On The Management And Sustainability Of Retirement Funds, Thepdanai Danswasvong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research studies the importance of plan members' heterogeneity to the management of defined benefit (DB) pension fund. We propose a new multi-member model of DB pension fund that allows for heterogeneity in plan members' retirement ages, salary growths, and other characteristics. We first solve analytically for optimal management strategy and show that the sponsor's supplementary contribution and the fund's allocation in risky assets are determined by the cross-product between the fund's expected retirement liabilities and some heterogeneity-adjusted discount factors. We then demonstrate that the presence of heterogeneity can have a significant influence on the optimal management strategy and that …
