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...

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...

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...

Bayesian learning claims that the strength of the price impact of unanticipated information depends on the relative precision of traders' prior and posterior beliefs. In this paper we test for this implication of Bayesian models by analyzing intraday price responses of T-bond futures to U.S....

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. Bid and ask returns are decomposed into a common (''efficient return'') factor and two market-side-specific components...

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...
