In this paper, we study the stock returns for large trades with price impact. We use the daily changes in volume-weighted average price (VWAP) as a proxy of the returns for institutional investors. This return is then compared statistically to the daily return using closing price. Using a panel data of NYSE/AMEX stocks, we find a fixed effect contributing to the spread between them and it can be interpreted as an unbiased ex post estimate of price impact. | Journal of Applied Finance Banking 2013 327-342 ISSN 1792-6580 print version 1792-6599 online Scienpress Ltd 2013 Stock Returns with Price Impact Alfred Ka Chun Ma1 and Xiayun Sun2 Abstract In this paper we study the stock returns for large trades with price impact.

While the opportunity cost is affected by the non-executed position relative to the target position the execution cost is mainly affected by the execution price. There are attempts to quantify price impact which is the major part of the implicit execution cost using various techniques in the literature. 21 summarize various techniques for measuring trading costs. 1 present a calibration procedure to estimate pre-trade price impact for equity trades on large-cap stocks. 6 propose two methods to .
