8 Current Research on Invarance Hypotheses The nvarance hypotheses can be examned usng many dfferent datasets. Here s a summary of our current research usng datasets avalable to academc researchers: The Ancerno dataset ncludes more orders than the dataset of portfolo transtons used n ths paper. The dataset groups trades nto meta-orders whch approxmate our concept of a bet. Prelmnary research by Albert S. Kyle and Kngsley Fong fnds that proxes for bets n Ancerno data have sze patterns consstent wth the nvarance hypotheses. The Ancerno data s also desgned to facltate measurement of transactons costs. Ths dataset s therefore approprate for valdatng our emprcal results for both bet sze and transacton costs. Andersen et al. (2015) examne the varaton n trade frequency, contract volume, and volatlty n the S&P 500 E-mn futures contract across mnutes of the 24-hour day. The results conform to predcted nvarance relatonshps. Kyle and Obzhaeva (2016) compare extrapolatons of the lnear market-mpact estmates n ths paper to publcly documented quanttes sold n fve stock market crashes. The prce declnes n the 1987 crash and the 2008 lqudaton of Jerome Kervel s rogue trades at Socete Generale, whch occurred over tme frames smlar to large portfolo transtons, were close the the predcted declnes. Transtory prce declnes were larger than predcted n the two flash crashes, when sales occurred unusually rapdly, and smaller n the 1929 crash, when sales were stretched out over weeks and months. Whle consstent wth the nvarance hypotheses, these results also suggest that the speed of executon nfluences temporary market mpact. Kyle, Obzhaeva and Tuzun (2016) examne the hypothess that the sze of prnts of stock market trades n Trade and Quotatons (TAQ) data are proportonal to the sze of bets. Ths hypothess holds up well durng the 1990s, consstent wth the nterpretaton that bets were negotated and prnted as block trades. The hypothess breaks down after 2001, when trade sze collapsed toward the round-lot mnmum sze of 100 shares for many trades. The changes after 2001 may be the result of the reducton n the mnmum tck sze to one cent and the ncreased use of electronc order-shreddng algorthms. Kyle et al. (2012) examne whether the monthly frequency of Thomson Reuters news artcles s proportonal to the 2/3 power of tradng actvty for ndvdual stocks. The estmated exponent s close to the predcted value of 2/3 pror to a strategc decson by Thomson Reuters to ncrease the number of news artcles about less actvely traded stocks, after whch the coeffcent changes n a manner consstent wth ther strategc decson. 7

9 Usng a dfferent propretary dataset, Bae et al. (2014) examne the number of tmes ndvdual tradng accounts swtch between buyng and sellng ndvdual stocks. Consstent wth the predctons of nvarance, t s shown that the number of swtchng ponts s proportonal to the 2/3 power of tradng actvty. References Andersen, Torben G., Oleg Bondarenko, Albert S.
