Description This paper analyzes the joint determination and evolution processes of equilibrium futures and spot prices using a market-microstructure model. Optimal behaviors of speculators, hedgers, and scalpers, as well as the impact of traders' characteristics on equilibrium prices and on futures-and-spot's lead-lag relationships are also investigated. Compared to Garbade and Silber's (1983) non-market-microstructure and some microstructure studies, our results are much more abundant. Moreover, both single- and multi-market indices are proposed to measure liquidity in the futures and spot markets simultaneously. The latter are superior to the former because an additional term to reflect cross-market effects on liquidity measurement is included.
Key words: price dominance, market liquidity, futures, spot, hedgers, scalpers
