This paper uses Hasbrouck's (1991) vector autoregressive model to empirically test the effect of tick size (decimalization) on the permanent price impact of trade for frequently traded NYSE stocks. The result shows that the price impact of trade during the post-decimalization period is significantly lower than the pre-decimalization period. This suggests that the information asymmetries are reduced, and the overall liquidity of the market improved after decimalization.
