The ®rst involves information about transitory risk premia, whereas the second involves information about persistent risk premia. In the ®rst case, because the transparency of order ¯ow in FX is low, dealers have better knowledge of their own inventory and that of other dealers than the general public.
Once the supply-demand mismatch is remedied, the dealer no longer holds a position (inventory), so the effect on price dissipatesÐthe risk is diversi®able. 14 The second cause of time variation in discount ratesÐthe third of our three information categories aboveÐis what macroeconomists call portfolio balance effects. To distinguish these effects from inventory effects, the idea in this case is that even after risky positions are spread through the economy as a whole, order ¯ow's effect on price will not disappear completely.
To distinguish these effects from inventory effects, the idea in this case is that even after risky positions are spread through the economy as a whole, order ¯ow's effect on price will not disappear completely. 1, the discount rates that establish both p0 and p1 are affected. ) In other words, the risk that drives the portfolio balance effect is undiversi®able (unlike the risk that drives the inventory effect). Of course, to distinguish this from the ®rst of our information typesÐinformation about payoffsÐit must be shown that order ¯ow is not conveying information about EV.
