12. Models of limit-order markets
In the CMSW model, the bid/ask spread is determined with transaction costs.
If the spread is wide, traders submit new limit orders that have lower spread
but still have lower loss than market orders. When the spread narrows to the
extent that fees for submitting limit orders negate their gain, traders may want
to submit market orders (gravitational pull). Order matching widens the
spread as market orders wipe out top of the book. Ultimately the spread
attains some equilibrium value.

12. Models of limit-order markets
Market orders are more likely submitted after market orders on the same
side of the market. Indeed, one may expect that a buy order diminishes
liquidity on the ask side, which motivates a seller to submit a limit ask order.
Buyer (seller) is more likely to submit a market order in case of a thick LOB
on the bid (ask) side. On the other hand, a thick LOB on the offer (bid) side
motivates a buyer (seller) to submit a limit order.

12.4 Summary
Thinner LOB has a wider spread.
Market orders are more likely submitted after market orders on the same
side of LOB.
Buyer (seller) is more likely to submit market order in case of thick LOB on
the bid (ask) side.
Buyer (seller) is more likely to submit limit order in case of thick LOB on the
ask (bid) side.
The spread increases with volatility.
Winners curse occurs when a limit order filled due to price volatility turns out
to be mispriced.
Patient traders submit less aggressive limit orders, which increases the
spread.
Limit orders can cluster outside the market, generating a hump-shaped LOB.
