| Abstract: | Order book and transactions data from the U.S. Treasury securities market are used to calculate daily measures of bid-ask spreads, depth, and price impact for a twenty-six-year sample period (1991-2017). From these measures, a daily index of Treasury market liquidity is constructed, reflecting the fact that the varying measures capture different aspects of market liquidity. The liquidity index is then correlated with various metrics of funding liquidity, volatility, and macroeconomic conditions. The liquidity index points to poor liquidity during the 2007-09 financial crisis and around the near failure of Long-Term Capital Management, but suggests that current liquidity is good by historical standards. Market liquidity tends to be strongly correlated with funding liquidity at times of market stress, but otherwise exhibits little correlation. |

| Abstract: | We use an economic experiment to examine the impact of an uncertain level of asymmetric information on the behavior of security dealers. Speci cally, we distinguish three types of uncertainty with respect to informed trading { risk, compound risk, and ambiguity { for both a monopoly and a duopoly market setting. We nd no di erence in dealers' bidding behavior between compound risk and ambiguity. At the same time, we nd that bidding behavior is more aggressive under risk than under compound risk or ambiguity. In addition, we nd that stochastic models of choice does well in explaining the observed di erences in market outcomes for both individual (monopoly) and strategic (duopoly) settings.. |
