hard · Market Microstructure spread-econ

For a stock with a quoted half-spread of 5 cents and a midpoint of 20.00, the Roll (1984) serial covariance of price changes is estimated as -0.0009 (in squared-dollar units). The Stoll decomposition estimates the adverse-selection component as 40% of the effective spread.

What is the Roll-implied effective half-spread, and what is the adverse-selection component in cents?

  1. Roll half-spread = 3 cents; adverse-selection = 1.2 cents
  2. Roll half-spread = 3 cents; adverse-selection = 2.0 cents
  3. Roll half-spread = 5 cents; adverse-selection = 2.0 cents
  4. Roll half-spread = 4.5 cents; adverse-selection = 1.8 cents
