In this article we put forward a model where aggregate sales are a function of the online search of potential consumers at many locations. We argue that a location may be influential because of its power to drive aggregate sales and this power may be dynamic and evolving in time. Second, the...

This type of process of diffusion tends to be stable in the sense that convergence from any initial … guaranteed. Here, we introduce a mechanism under which stability of the diffusion process does not necessarily hold. When the …

A kernel weighted version of the standard realised integrated volatility es- timator is proposed. By different choices of the kernel and bandwidth, the measure allows us to focus on specific characteristics of the volatility process. In particular, as the bandwidth vanishes, an estimator of the...
