This paper investigates the use of price intensities to estimate volatilities based on high-frequency data. We interpret the conditional probability for the occurrence of a price event within a certain time horizon as a risk measure which allows us to obtain an estimator of the conditional...

Capital flow volatility is a concern for macroeconomic and financial stability. Nonetheless, literature is scarce in this topic. Our paper sheds light on this issue in two dimensions. First, using quarterly data for 33 emerging markets and developing economies over the period 1970Q1-2016Q4, we...

We extend the classical "martingale-plus-noise" model for high-frequency prices by an error correction mechanism originating from prevailing mispricing. The speed of price reversal is a natural measure for informational efficiency. The strength of the price reversal relative to the...
