hard · Market Microstructure

According to the Almgren-Chriss framework, the total price impact of a trade is decomposed into permanent and temporary components.

If a trader utilizes a linear impact model where the permanent impact is g(n) = γ n and the temporary impact is h(n) = η (n/τ), which statement correctly identifies the economic interpretation of the permanent component?

  1. It accounts for the bid-ask bounce observed between successive transactions in a random walk.
  2. It is the price concession required to induce immediate liquidity provision from the order book.
  3. It is the cost resulting from the delay between the investment decision and the start of execution.
  4. It represents the information content of the trade that persists after liquidity providers have recovered.
