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

Testing for jumps when asset prices are observed with noise–a “swap variance” approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new test for jumps in asset prices that is motivated by the literature on variance swaps and derived its power from the impact of jumps on the third and higher order return moments.

Empirical Analysis of Limit Order Markets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide empirical restrictions of a model of optimal order submissions in a limit order market and compute a semiparametric test using a sample of order submissions from the Stockholm Stock Exchange, using the order prices, execution probabilities and picking o risks of the orders chosen by the traders in the sample.

Properties of Realized Variance Under Alternative Sampling Schemes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the statistical properties of the realized variance estimator in the presence of market microstructure noise and found that transaction time sampling is generally superior to the common practice of calendar time sampling in that it leads to a lower mean squared error (MSE) of the estimated variance.

Duration, Volume and Volatility Impact of Trades
TL;DR: In this article, an econometric framework is developed to model duration, volume and volatility simultaneously, incorporating causal and feedback effects among these variables, and they construct impulse-response functions that show how the system reacts to a perturbation of its long run equilibrium.

Time-Varying Arrival Rates of Informed and Uninformed Trades
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic econometric microstructure model of trading is proposed to investigate how the dynamics of trades and trade composition interact with the evolution of market liquidity, market depth, and order flow.

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.

The statistical analysis of failure time data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a regression model for failure time distributions in the context of counting process models and showed that the model can be used to estimate the probability of failure.

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.
