In our article, Does Dodd-Frank Affect OTC Transaction Costs and Liquidity? Evidence from Real-Time CDS Trade Reports, recently published in the Journal of Financial Economics, we use real-time trade reports made available by post-financial crisis reforms to examine the trading costs and liquidity of index credit default swaps (CDSs), an important class of OTC derivatives.
