Comprising five parts, this timely guide contains detailed discussions covering everything from the market microstructure of various financial markets and market architecture/design to price formation/discovery and transaction costs, timing, and information disclosure. You will also become familiar with a wide array of market microstructure issues related to emerging markets, such as the price behavior in new European Union emerging markets and stock market efficiency in emerging markets.

Market microstructure is constantly evolving to keep pace with advances in technology, regulations, competition, globalization, and changing investor preferences. If you intend on keeping up with one of the most demanding areas of finance, this is the book you will need.
