We extend the important idea of range-based volatility estimation to the multivariate case. In particular, we propose a … range-based covariance estimator that is motivated by financial economic considerations (the absence of arbitrage), in … addition to statistical considerations. We show that, unlike other univariate and multivariate volatility estimators, the range …

We examine the empirical predictions of a real option-pricing model using a large sample of data on mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. banking sector. We provide estimates for the option value that the target bank has in waiting for a higher bid instead of accepting an initial tender offer. We...

We develop a model of an order-driven exchange competing for order flow with off-exchange trading mechanisms. Liquidity suppliers face a trade-off between benefits and costs of order exposure. If they display trading intentions, they attract additional trade demand. We show, in equilibrium,...
