This paper sheds new light on the mixture of distribution hypothesis by means of a study of the weekly exchange rate volatility of the Norwegian krone. In line with other studies we find that the impact of information arrival on exchange rate volatility is positive and statistically significant,...

This paper empirically examines the relationship between trading volume and conditional volatility of returns in the Tunisian stock market within the framework of the mixture of distribution hypothesis (MDH) and the sequential information arrival hypothesis (SIAH). Through this study, we...

In this paper, two tests for weak exogeneity in the econometric modelling of financial point processes are proposed. They are motivated by the common practice in many econometric studies of tick-by-tick data of making inference on the joint density of durations and marks through the conditional...

This study investigates the effect of sporting performances on the volatility of listed football clubs. The theoretical background is based on the importance of intangible assets in the football industry and the difficulty in evaluating them. The empirical analysis is based on the family of...

This paper investigates the dynamics of information flow between stock return and trading volume in the Tunisian Stock Market (TSE) using intraday data covering the year 2006. The Cross-Correlation Function (CCF) suggested by Cheung and Ng is employed to detect the causality in mean and in...

Based on the concept that the presence of liquidity frictions can increase the daily traded volume, we develop an extended version of the mixture of distribution hypothesis model (MDH) along the lines of Tauchen and Pitts (1983) to measure the liquidity portion of volume. Our approach relies on...

Trading volume and the number of trades are both used as proxies for market activity, with disagreement as to which is the better proxy for market activity. This paper investigates this issue using high frequency data for Cisco and Intel in 1997. A number of econometric methods are used,...

This paper examines the dynamic relationship of volatility and trading volume using a bivariate vector autoregressive methodology. This study found bidirectional causal relations between trading volume and volatility, which is in accordance with sequential information arrival hypothesis that...

The flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) has the effect of shifting trade patterns, especially those of developing countries. With FDI flow growth, vertical intra-industry trade increases as those production-fragmentation-led investments mature. This relation is readily apparent in the...

Recent studies have greatly expanded the literature on the effects of exchange-rate volatility on industry-level bilateral trade flows. In this study, we examine the case of the United States and France, applying cointegration analysis to a set of 146 U.S. export and 115 U.S. import industries....
