In this paper we motivate, specify and estimate a model in which the intra-day volatilty process affects the inter-transaction duration process and vice versa. In order to solve the estimation problems implied by this interdependent formulation, we first propose a GMM estimation procedure for...

Chaudhuri, Doksum and Samarov (1997) have recently stressed the usefulness of the quantile regression formulation for survival analysis and for transformation models, more generally. In this paper, we explore the use of quantile regression in survival analysis by reanalysing a large experimental...
