This study examines the competition in price discovery among stock index, index futures, and index options in Taiwan. The price-discovery ability of the Taiwan Top 50 Tracker Fund, an exchange-traded fund based on the Taiwan 50 index is examined. The authors find that, after the minimum tick size in the stock market decreases, the bid-ask spreads of the component stocks of the stock index and the Taiwan Top 50 Tracker Fund get lower, and the contribution of the spot market to price discovery increases.
