Diving into Dark PoolsSabrina ButiUniversity of Toronto - Rotman School of Management Barbara RindiBocconi University - Department of Finance Ingrid M. WernerThe Ohio State University - Fisher College of Business November 28, 2011 Charles A. Dice Center Working Paper No. 2010-10 Fisher College of Business Working Paper No. 2010-03-010 Abstract: This paper examines unique data on dark pool activity for a large cross-section of US stocks in 2009. Dark pool activity is concentrated in liquid stocks. Nasdaq (AMEX) stocks have significantly higher (lower) dark pool activity than NYSE stocks controlling for liquidity. For a given stock, dark pool activity is significantly higher on days with high share volume, high depth, low intraday volatility, low order imbalances relative to share volume, and low absolute returns. Results show that increased dark pool activity improves market quality measures such as spreads, depth, and short-term volatility. The relationship between dark pool activity and measures of price-efficiency is more complex.
