High-frequency data and limit order books

Objective

Objective : This course is intended for students interested in the empirical study, mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of modern financial markets, known as "order-book" markets. These markets, which make up the vast majority of equity, index and derivatives markets, have a single entry point, the order book, which lists all the interests expressed by market participants in a transparent and visible manner to all operators. These order books have been the subject of scientific studies for some twenty years and, of course, are of fundamental practical interest to the market.
