Additionally, individuals that control trades in both these stock exchanges have similar roles in certain instances (Heckman, 2001). At the same time, there are also some differences between NYSE and Nasdaq. Companies that are listed on the NASDAQ are considered as more volatile and growth oriented because share prices can rise or fall sharply. On the other side, NYSE listed companies are more stable.
NYSE is a central agency-auction market where more than 80% of the stocks volume is executed on the floor. It is the reason that buyer directly transact with a seller. In contrast, Nasdaq is a decentralized exchange where dealers (also known as market makers) fill a much greater portion of the orders (Brigham & Houston, 2009).
