Friction, [PDF, 140k](871 hits) - The sources of trading friction are studied, and simple, robust empirical measures
of friction are provided. Seven distinct measures of trading friction are computed

The measures provide insights into the magnitude of trading costs, the importance
of informational versus real frictions, and the role of market structure. The degree

characteristics of stocks is examined.
