Conclusion

• Probability of entry and exit is affected by trading intensity, volatility, and quoted spread

• Entry (exit) is associated with spread decline (increase) after controlling for trading intensity and volatility– Larger scale of entry (exit) is associated with larger decline

(increase)• Spread changes are larger in magnitude for issues with

few market makers• The results are consistent with the competitive model

of dealer pricing
