The econometrics of ultra-high-frequency data
TLDR
In this article, the ACD point process was applied to IBM transaction arrival times to develop semiparametric hazard estimates and conditional intensities, and combined with a GARCH model of prices produces ultra-high-frequency measures of volatility.Abstract:
Ultra-high-frequency data is defined to be a full record of transactions and their associated characteristics. The transaction arrival times and accompanying measures can be analyzed as marked point processes. The ACD point process developed by Engle and Russell (1998) is applied to IBM transactions arrival times to develop semiparametric hazard estimates and conditional intensities. Combining these intensities with a GARCH model of prices produces ultra-high-frequency measures of volatility. Both returns and variances are found to be negatively influenced by long durations as suggested by asymmetric information models of market micro-structure.read more

Roughing It Up: Including Jump Components in the Measurement, Modeling, and Forecasting of Return Volatility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a framework for non-parametric measurement of the jump component in asset return volatility and find that jumps are both highly prevalent and distinctly less persistent than the continuous sample path variation process.

MIDAS regressions: Further results and new directions
TL;DR: The authors explore mixed data sampling (henceforth MIDAS) regression models, which involve time series data sampled at different frequencies, and provide empirical evidence on microstructure noise and volatility forecasting.

New frontiers for arch models
TL;DR: In the 20 years following the publication of the ARCH model, there has been a vast quantity of research uncovering the properties of competing volatility models as mentioned in this paper, including high-frequency volatility models, large-scale multivariate ARCH models, and derivatives pricing models.

Microstructure Noise in the Continuous Case: The Pre-Averaging Approach ∗
TL;DR: In this article, a generalized pre-averaging approach for estimating the integrated volatility is presented, which can generate rate optimal estimators with convergence rate n 1/4. But the convergence rate is not guaranteed.

Risk and Volatility: Econometric Models and Financial Practice
TL;DR: The authors must take risks to achieve rewards but not all risks are equally rewarded, so they optimize their behavior, and in particular their portfolio, to maximize rewards and minimize risks.

Bid, ask and transaction prices in a specialist market with heterogeneously informed traders
TL;DR: The presence of traders with superior information leads to a positive bid-ask spread even when the specialist is risk-neutral and makes zero expected profits as discussed by the authors, and the expectation of the average spread squared times volume is bounded by a number that is independent of insider activity.

Quasi-maximum likelihood estimation and inference in dynamic models with time-varying covariances
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator and related test statistics in dynamic models that jointly parameterize conditional means and conditional covariances, when a normal log-likelihood is maximized but the assumption of normality is violated.

A Theory of Intraday Patterns: Volume and Price Variability
Anat R. Admati,Paul Pfleiderer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a theory that concentrated trading patterns arise endogenously as a result of the strategic behavior of liquidity traders and informed traders and provided a partial explanation for some of the recent empitical findings concerning the patterns of volume and price variability in intraday transaction data.
