"A Trading Desk View of Market Quality" offers a comprehensive analysis of market quality from the perspective of finance professionals. Based on a conference held by the Zicklin School of Business in 2002, the book includes edited transcripts of the panel discussions as well as separate presentations from esteemed industry representatives. The authors have endeavored to critically examine the complex topics addressed during the conference and to gain additional insights through interviews with the panelists. This results in a valuable document that not only captures the historical discussions but also reflects current conditions and challenges in the field of market quality. An additional chapter provides a deeper analysis of the connection between market quality and intraday volatility, which was discussed multiple times during the conference. Collaboration with the panelists throughout the production process ensures that their views are represented authentically and accurately.
