本研究探討臺灣期貨市場快速交易對價格發現能力之影響。依據美國證券交易委員會(SEC)以及歐洲證券及市場管理局(ESMA)歸納出的高頻交易者特徵來做為本研究定義快速交易之條件,即持倉時間短、交易量大及委託對成交比率高。此外,透過 Lien and Shretha (2009) 提出的修正資訊份額模型來衡量臺股期貨與加權股價指數的價格發現能力。最後利用篩選出快速交易者,探討其對臺股期貨價格發現能力之影響。 研究結果顯示快速交易總成交量增加,會降低臺股期貨對股價指數的價格發現能力。在不同投資人類型中,境內機構法人快速交易增加時,不論是從全市場、買方或賣方的角度,發現皆會降低臺股期貨之價格發現能力;境外機構法人及散戶快速交易只有在其淨買賣量增加時,才會降低臺股期貨之價格發現能力。
