- Abstract
- In this paper, we investigate whether domestic traders do better than non-domestic traders in terms of trading performance. In our analysis, we use a unique and rich high-frequency dataset, comprising the four Euronext market places. This allows for investigating different market places simultaneously. In addition, we obtain a finer classification of non-domestic traders: we make a distinction between domestic, other Euronext (i.e. traders from one of the other three Euronext markets) and foreign traders (from a non-Euronext country). We find that domestic traders outperform the other trader types for non-initiated proprietary trades, whereas there is no difference between other Euronext and foreign trades. For non-initiated client trades, domestic and other Euronext trades outperform foreign ones whereas there is no difference between domestic and other Euronext traders. Our results remain robust to controlling for trader and stock characteristics. In the final part of the paper, we verify the results by studying the same trader both when trading in her home market place and the other Euronext market places.
