medium · Market Microstructure market-impact

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 pure random walk.
  2. It is the price concession required to induce immediate liquidity provision from the resting limit order book.
  3. It is the cost resulting from the delay between the investment decision and the actual start of execution trading.
  4. It represents the information content of the trade that persists after liquidity providers have recovered.
