This paper focuses on if common effective spread estimators are appropriate for the proxy of Taiwan Futures Exchange. I use public available time and sales data, apply three methods, Roll’s (1984), Thompson and Waller’s (1988), and Smith and Whaley’s (1994) to assess effective spread, and then, compare them with the measured transaction costs proposed by Demsetz (1968). My results indicate that the latter two estimators not only are highly correlated with true transaction costs, but also provide good estimates, while Roll’s estimator appears to be inappropriate applied.
