In this paper, we propose a class of ACD-type models that accommodates overdispersion, intermittent dynamics, multiple regimes, and sign and size asymmetries in financial durations. In particular, our functional coefficient autoregressive conditional duration (FC-ACD) model relies on a...

This paper performs a thorough statistical examination of the time-series properties of the market volatility index (VIX) from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). The motivation lies on the widespread consensus that the VIX is a barometer to the overall market sentiment as to what...

This paper uses a multivariate response surface methodology to analyze the size distortion of the BDS test when applied to standardized residuals of rst-order GARCH processes. The results show that the asymptotic standard normal distribution is an unreliable approximation, even in large samples....

This paper examines the price impact of trading due to expected changes in the FTSE 100 index composition. We focus on the latter index because it employs publicly- known objective criteria to determine membership and hence it provides a natural context to investigate anticipatory trading e...

This paper proposes a two-step procedure to back out the conditional alpha of a given stock using high-frequency data. We rst estimate the realized factor loadings of the stocks, and then retrieve their conditional alphas by estimating the conditional expectation of their risk- adjusted returns....

This paper performs a thorough statistical examination of the time-series properties of the daily market volatility index (VIX) from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). The motivation lies not only on the widespread consensus that the VIX is a barometer of the overall market sentiment as...

We extend the standard price discovery analysis to estimate the information share of dual-class shares across domestic and foreign markets. By examining both common and preferred shares, we aim to extract information not only about the fundamental value of the rm, but also about the dual-class...

O objetivo desse trabalho é estimar a medida dinâmica VNET de profundidade de mercado para ações brasileiras a partir de dados de transação. VNET mede a diferença no número de ações compradas e vendidas no intervalo de tempo necessário para que o preço se movesse além de um...

Este trabalho visa estimar o prêmio por controle no mercado acionário brasileiro, com base no diferencial de preços entre espécies de ações com direitos diferenciados de voto. Mostramos primeiro que, entre 01/07/2003 e 28/06/2013, o prêmio médio por controle é positivo, contrariando...
