Abstract

Chakrabarty, Moulton and Shkilko (2012) claim that they redo Asquith, Oman, and Safaya (2010) and obtain different results. This note shows Chakrabarty, et al. (2012) only redid a portion of Asquith, et al. (2010) and their results for that portion are the same as Asquith, et al. (2010). Furthermore, the findings in Chakrabarty, et al. (2012) do not show the Lee-Ready algorithm properly classifies short sales as they claim.

Keywords: Market Microstructure, Lee-Ready, Short Sales
