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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Time and the Process of Security Price Adjustment
David Easley,Maureen O'Hara +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that time affects prices, with the time between trades affecting spreads, and that the absence of trades is correlated with volume, and demonstrates how volume affects the speed of price adjustment.

Pseudo maximum likelihood methods: theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the consistency if the pseudo maximum likelihood estimation of the first and second moments is given is given, and the existence of a lower bound for the asymptotic covariance matrix is shown.

Heteroskedasticity in Stock Return Data: Volume versus GARCH Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide empirical support for the notion that autoregressive conditional heterogeneousness (ARCH) in daily stock return data reflects time dependence in the process generating information flow to the market.

A transaction data study of weekly and intradaily patterns in stock returns
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined weekly and intradaily patterns in common stock prices using transaction data and found that negative Monday close-to-close returns accrue between the Friday close and the Monday open; for smaller firms they accrue primarily during the Monday trading day.

Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Methods: Applications to Poisson Models
TL;DR: In this paper, pseudo maximum likelihood techniques are applied to basic Poisson models and to poisson models with specification errors without specifying the p.d.f. of the disturbances.
