This study examines empirically the relationship between the time duration and the price impact of trades for the TAIEX index futures traded on TAIFEX which is an electronic order-driven market. The results show that a U shape nonlinear relationship between the time duration and the price impact of trades. In contrast, the previous literature documents a negative relationship in the quote-driven market with market makers. The phenomenon may attribute to the slower adjustment of quote by limit order providers in the electronic order-driven market than by market makers. In addition, trades have a greater impact on quotes in the open and the close of a trading day. Trades with larger trading volume and smaller depth have a greater impact on quotes.
