摘要:In a famous episode of nancial history which lasted over eight years, the market for the future on the Bund moved entirely from LIFFE, a London-based derivatives exchange, to DTB, a Frankfurt-based exchange. This paper studies the determinants of the observed dynamics, using a novel panel dataset that contains individual trading rmsmembership status at each exchange together with other rms characteristics, and pricing, marketing and product portfolio strategies by each exchange. Our data allows us to distinguish between di¤erent explanations for the observed phenomenon. Our results indicate that the main driver was a "market coverage" e¤ect: thanks to the combination its electronic market structure and EU-wide access deregulation, DTB increased the relevant size of the market for exchange members and disproportionately attracted those rms who originally did not exist or used to submit their orders through a broker. Di¤erential liquidity and product portfolio strategies by the exchanges played a secondary role.
