The Informational Content of the Limit Order Book: An Empirical Study of Prediction Markets
In this paper I empirically investigate prediction markets for binary options. Advocates of prediction markets have suggested that asset prices are consistent estimators of the "true" probability of a state of the world being realized. I test whether the market reaches a "consensus." I find little evidence for convergence in beliefs. I then determine whether an econometrician using data beyond execution prices can leverage this data to estimate the consensus belief. I use an incomplete specification of equilibrium outcomes to derive bounds on beliefs from order submission decisions. Interval estimates of mean beliefs cannot exclude aggregate beliefs equal to 0.5.

Testing if the market microstructure noise is fully explained by the informational content of some variables from the limit order book
In this paper, we build tests for the presence of residual noise in a model where the market microstructure noise is a known parametric function of some variables from the limit order book. The tests compare two distinct…
When Quotes Crumble: Detecting Transient Mechanical Liquidity Erosion in Limit Order Books
We study the detection of transient liquidity erosion ("crumbling quotes") in electronic limit order books, where observable quote deterioration may reflect either mechanical liquidity withdrawal or informational reprici…
Informed trading, limit order book and implementation shortfall: equilibrium and asymptotics
We propose a static equilibrium model for limit order book where profit-maximizing investors receive an information signal regarding the liquidation value of the asset and execute via a competitive dealer with random ini…
