This paper proposes a new approach to modeling financial transactions data. A model for discrete valued time series is introduced in the context of generalized linear models. Since the model specifies probabilities of return outcomes conditional on both the previous state and the historic...

There are two volatility components embedded in the returns constructed using recorded stock prices: the genuine time-varying volatility of the unobservable returns that would prevail (in equilibrium) in a frictionless, full-information, economy and the variance of the equally unobservable...

This paper will propose a new statistical model for the analysis of data that does not arrive in equal time intervals such as financial transactions data, telephone calls, or sales data on commodities that are tracked electronically. In contrast to fixed interval analysis, the model treats the...

We introduce a new analysis of transaction costs that explicitly recognizes the importance of the timing of execution in assessing transaction costs. Time induces a risk/cost tradeoff. The price of immediacy results in higher costs for quickly executed orders while more gradual trading results...

Recorded prices are known to diverge from their "efficient" values due to the presence of market microstructure contaminations. The microstructure noise creates a dichotomy in the model-free estimation of integrated volatility. While it is theoretically necessary to sum squared returns that are...

This paper focuses on the diagnostic checking of vector ARMA (VARMA) models with multivariate GARCH errors. For a fitted VARMA-GARCH model with Gaussian or Student-t innovations, we derive the asymptotic distributions of autocorrelation matrices of the cross-product vector of standardized...
