In a brief first stage, the release of a major macroeconomic announcement induces a sharp and nearly instantaneous price change with a reduction in trading volume, demonstrating that price reactions to public information do not require trading. The spread widens dramatically at announcement, evidently driven by inventory control concerns. In a prolonged second stage, trading volume surges, price volatility persists, and spreads remain moderately wide as investors trade to reconcile residual differences in their private views.", pages = "1901-1915(15)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/jofi/1999/00000054/00000005/art00012" doi = "doi:10.1111/0022-1082.00172" }
