The goal of this paper is to determine whether the switch from fixing to continuous trading or the use of a liquidity provider agreement improves volume on Alternext. The sample period ranges from May 2, 2006 to April 28, 2008. It includes 32 companies that switched from fixing to continuous trading and 25 companies that signed a liquidity provider agreement. The empirical study indicates that the switch from fixing to continuous trading was successful with respect to the number of shares traded. However, liquidity provider agreements do not significantly improve volume.
