Hello, is there any way to obtain the Kyle lambda or a price impact parameter starting from the bid-ask spread if the traded volumes are not available? Unfortunately Refinitiv does not offer the OTC transactions data. Therefore, for corporate bonds we have plenty of information on bid-ask spread, but most of them have no volume. I am aware of the Back and Baruch (2004) paper (https://www.jstor.org/stable/3598909), however it gives an approximation of the Kyle lambda using the bid-ask spread when volumes are known.

Thanks a lot
