Liquidity, Markets and Trading in Action: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (Classroom Companion: Business)
This open access text tackles four core business school disciplines, namely microeconomics, macroeconomics, finance, and information systems, through the specific lens of trading, liquidity, and market structure. It's a focused, practical treatment of a subject that textbooks often gloss over. Central to its approach is a thorough look at trading costs and the various friction points that slow or distort market activity, giving students a clearer picture of how financial markets actually function day to day. What makes it genuinely useful is the inclusion of TraderEx, an interactive equity trading simulation that places students inside different market conditions and structures. Rather than simply reading about order flow and price discovery, students get to make real decisions and experience the consequences. That kind of hands-on learning tends to stick. Each chapter is built to stand on its own, so instructors can slot individual sections into an existing economics, finance, or information science course without restructuring their whole syllabus. Supporting materials, including discussion questions, PowerPoint slides, and TraderEx exercises, are all freely accessible online. For educators looking to bring some real-world texture into otherwise abstract topics, this book offers a well-structured, cross-disciplinary route in.
