Using a comprehensive sample of stocks traded in Xetra system in German Stock Exchange, we first investigate the choice of trade volume by analyzing the trade size clustering and LOB-matched trades.

We propose a new approach to model high and low frequency components of equity correlations. Our framework combines a factor asset pricing structure with other specifications capturing dynamic properties of volatilities and covariances between a single common factor and idiosyncratic returns....
