Modelling security market events in continuous time: Intensity based, multivariate point process models
نویسنده
چکیده
A continuous time econometric modelling framework for multivariate financial market event (or ‘transactions’) data is developed in which the model is specified via the vector conditional intensity. Generalised Hawkes models are introduced that incorporate inhibitory events and dependence between trading days. Novel omnibus specification tests based on a multivariate random time change theorem are proposed. A bivariate point process model of the timing of trades and mid-quote changes is then presented for a New York Stock Exchange stock and related to the market microstructure literature. The two-way interaction of trades and quote changes in continuous time is found to be important empirically. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: C32; C51; C52; G10

Time Deformation and the Yield Curve
This paper considers how trading activity at one maturity of the yield curve a¤ects and is a¤ected by trading at other maturities. We approach the modelling of bond prices from a stochastic volatility perspective based on time deformation. We put forward a new, continuous time, multivariate time deformation model which is coherent with the market microstructure theory of price discovery and cap...
متن کاملModelling Financial High Frequency Data Using Point Processes
In this paper, we give an overview of the state-of-the-art in the econometric literature on the modeling of so-called financial point processes. The latter are associated with the random arrival of specific financial trading events, such as transactions, quote updates, limit orders or price changes observable based on financial high-frequency data. After discussing fundamental statistical conce...
متن کاملRisk Management in Oil Market: A Comparison between Multivariate GARCH Models and Copula-based Models
H igh price volatility and the risk are the main features of commodity markets. One way to reduce this risk is to apply the hedging policy by future contracts. In this regard, in this paper, we will calculate the optimal hedging ratios for OPEC oil. In this study, besides the multivariate GARCH models, for the first time we use conditional copula models for modelling dependence struc...
متن کاملErgodicity and scaling limit of a constrained multivariate Hawkes process
We introduce a multivariate Hawkes process with constraints on its conditional density. It is a multivariate point process with conditional intensity similar to that of a multivariate Hawkes process but certain events are forbidden with respect to boundary conditions on a multidimensional constraint variable, whose evolution is driven by the point process. We study this process in the special c...
متن کاملAccelerating Hawkes Process for Modelling Event History Data
Hawkes Processes are probabilistic models useful for modelling the occurrences of events over time. They exhibit mutual excitation property, where a past event influences future events. This has been successful in modelling the evolution of memes and user behaviour in social networks. In the Hawkes process, the occurrences of events are determined by an underlying intensity function which consi...
