Navigating the Algorithmic Shift: A Comprehensive Analysis of Algorithmic Trading's Impact on Market Efficiency, Volatility, and Regulatory Frameworks in Emerging Economies

Abstract

This research paper delves into the multifaceted impact of algorithmic trading (AT) on market dynamics within emerging economies, with a particular focus on India. The study examines the influence of AT on market efficiency, volatility, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Through a rigorous literature review and quantitative analysis, we assess the benefits and risks associated with AT adoption, including its potential to enhance liquidity, reduce transaction costs, and contribute to price discovery, while also addressing concerns about increased volatility, market manipulation, and systemic risk. The research also critically evaluates existing regulatory frameworks and proposes recommendations for adapting these frameworks to effectively govern AT activities in emerging markets, fostering innovation while mitigating potential adverse consequences. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between technology, finance, and regulation in shaping the future of financial markets in the developing world.
