Wall Street Horizon Abstract
This report shows that price discovery after an earnings announcement occurs quickly through trading, and is not based on elapsed time after the announcement. The author ï¬nds that trade time is well approximated by the accumulation of transactions, not share volume, dollar volume, or turnover. These ï¬ndings challenge the traditional view that trading is not important for price discovery in response to public information.
