The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive description of the dependence pattern of stock returns by studying a range of quantiles of the conditional return distribution using quantile autoregression. This enables us in particular to study the behavior of extreme quantiles associated...

Trading of Bitcoin is spread about multiple venues where buying and selling is offered in various currencies. However, all markets trade one common good and by the law of one price, the different prices should not deviate in the long run. In this context we are interested in which platform is...

The time between order submission and order confirmation is crucial for high frequency traders as they risk slippage when latency is too high. We hypothesize that high latency in cryptocurrency markets implies correlations well below one across exchanges at high frequencies. To evaluate this...

Insider trading laws are designed to ensure a level-playing field and trust in financial markets at the expense of less efficient markets. This paper argues that insider trading laws fail to ensure a level-playing field and instead facilitate fraud and undermine trust and fairness. We use a...

There is a well documented asymmetric return - volatility effect of equity returns, that is, negative shocks increase volatility by more than positive shocks. This paper analyzes the return - volatility relationship of commodity price changes and finds an inverted asymmetric effect with a...

This article analyzes asymmetric volatility effects for the 20 largest cryptocurrencies and reports a very different asymmetry compared to equity markets: positive shocks increase the volatility by more than negative shocks. We explain this atypical effect for financial assets with trading...
