In this paper, we study maximum likelihood estimation and Lagrange multiplier testing of a one-way error components regression model suitable for incomplete panel and including parametrically specified variance functions for both individual-specific and general error disturbances.

In this paper, we focus on the trade and quote data for the IBM stock traded at the NYSE. We present two different framworks for analyzing this dataset. First, using regularly sampled observations, we characterize the intraday volatility of the mid-point of the bid-ask quotes by estimating GARCH...

In this paper I consider social choices under uncertainty. I prove that any social choice rule that satisfies independence of irrelevant alternatives, translation invariance, and weak anonymity is consistent with ex post Bayesian utilitarianism.

This paper introduces the logarithmic autoregressive conditional duration model (Log-ACD model). The logarithmic version allows for more flexibility than the ACD model of Engle and Russel (1995), when additional variables are included in the model. We apply the Log-ACD model to bid/ask prices...

This paper proposes a class of asymmetric Autoregressive Conditional Duration models, which extends the ACD model of Engle and Russell (1997). The asymmetry consists of letting the duration process depend on the state of the price process in the beginning and at the end of each duration. If the...

A new model for the analysis of durations, the stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model, is introduced. This model is based of the assumption that the durations are generated by a latent stochastic factor that follows a first order autoregressive process. The latent factor is pertubed...

This paper surveys the most important developments in multivariate ARCH-type modelling. It reviews the model specifications, the inference methods, and the main areas of application of these models in financial econometrics.

A new model for the analysis of durations, the stochastic conditional dusration (SCD) model is introduced. This model is based on the assumption that the durations are generated by a latent stochastic factor that follows a first order autoregressive process. The lattent factor is perturbed...
