- Abstract
- There has been much debate on High Frequency Trading (HFT) in recent years from both business and academic fields. However, very little of this debate has separated the technology from the uses to which the technology has been put. Imagine the difference between the use of gunpowder to make fireworks and its use in producing weapons. This thesis examines changes in trading technologies and its uses through time. I consider existing empirical evidence and conduct additional quantitative analysis. I examine what regulatory authorities have done and what, if any, further regulations need to be in place in order to eliminate any unfair and discriminatory advantages that high-frequency traders may have, while preserving the benefits this technology has brought to the U.S. stock market.
