M05 · Problem 6 ★★ Check

Kyle with Indian numbers

A ₹2,000 stock has σv=2%\sigma_v = 2\% of price over the day and net noise flow with σu=3\sigma_u = 3 lakh shares. (a) Compute λ\lambda, β\beta and the insider's expected profit. (b) What is the price impact of a 50,000-share net buy imbalance, in ₹ and bp? (c) Retail participation doubles, so σu\sigma_u doubles. What happens to λ\lambda, to the insider's expected profit, to the noise traders' expected loss, and to how much the price reveals? Relate to SEBI's participation data.
