The intraday spread for each security is then aggregated to a daily frequency by calculating the average over each day.
Roll’s (1984) measure is computed as twice the square root of the negative covariance between adjacent price changes (which tend to be negatively correlated)Rollit=2−Cov(ri,t,ri,t−1),ifCov(ri,t,ri,t−1)<0,where ri,t is the return of bond i at time tcomputed from consecutive trades.
Kyle’s (1985) lambda (λi) is estimated as the slope coefficient of the regressionrit=αi+λiIitqit+εit,where rit is the return of bond i at time t computed from consecutive trades; Iit is a sign indicator, which is positive for a buy order and negative for a sell order; and qitis the trading volume.
