We study the impact of the arrival of macroeconomic news on the informational and noise-driven components in high-frequency quote processes and their conditional variances. We decompose bid and ask returns into a common ("efficient return") factor and two market-side-specific components...

We analyze how markets adjust to new information when the reliability of news is uncertain and has to be estimated itself. We propose a Bayesian learning model where market participants receive fundamental information along with noisy estimates of news’ precision. It is shown that the...

An important claim of Bayesian learning and a standard assumption in price discovery models is that the strength of the price impact of unanticipated information depends on the precision of the news. In this paper, we test for this assumption by analyzing intra-day price responses of CBOT T-bond...

It is well documented that the U.S. employment report has a strong price impact in financial markets. Based of these precision proxies, we show that prices respond significantly stronger to more precise information, even after controlling for an asymmetric price response to ’good’ and ’bad’...

Preise auf Kapitalmärkten werden durch nicht-antizipierte Informationen getrieben. Eine zentrale Aussage Baysianischer Lernmodelle impliziert, dass die Stärke der Preisreaktion einerseits von der Höhe der nicht antizipierten Komponente abhängt, andererseits aber auch von der Präzision der...

This paper delineates the simultaneous impact of non-anticipated information on mean and variance of the intraday return process by including appropriate variables accounting for the news flow into both the mean and the variance function. This allows us to differentiate between the consistent...
