DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS Bayesian Analysis of the Stochastic Conditional Duration Model

چکیده
A Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo methodology is developed for estimating the stochastic conditional duration model. The conditional mean of durations between trades is modelled as a latent stochastic process, with the conditional distribution of durations having positive support. The sampling scheme employed is a hybrid of the Gibbs and Metropolis Hastings algorithms, with the latent vector sampled in blocks. The suggested approach is shown to be preferable to the quasi-maximum likelihood approach, and its mixing speed faster than that of an alternative single-move algorithm. The methodology is illustrated with an application to Australian intraday stock market data.

Stochastic Conditional Duration Models with ‘‘Leverage Effect’’ for Financial Transaction Data
This article proposes stochastic conditional duration (SCD) models with ‘‘leverage effect’’ for financial transaction data, which extends both the autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) model (Engle and Russell, 1998, Econometrica, 66, 1127–1162) and the existing SCD model (Bauwens and Veredas, 2004, Journal of Econometrics, 119, 381–412). The proposed models belong to a class of linear nong...
متن کاملAugmented Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation for Two-Stage Stochastic Programs with Recourse
In this paper, we develop a simulation-based approach for two-stage stochastic programs with recourse. We construct an augmented probability model with stochastic shocks and decision variables. Simulating from the augmented probability model solves for the expected recourse function and the optimal first-stage decision. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, together with ergodic averaging, provide ...

متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS Bayesian Estimation of a Stochastic Volatility Model Using Option and Spot Prices: Application of a Bivariate Kalman Filter
In this paper Bayesian methods are applied to a stochastic volatility model using both the prices of the asset and the prices of options written on the asset. Posterior densities for all model parameters, latent volatilities and the market price of volatility risk are produced via a hybrid Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling algorithm. Candidate draws for the unobserved volatilities are obtained ...
متن کاملDEPARTMENT OF ECONOMETRICS AND BUSINESS STATISTICS Bayesian Estimation of a Stochastic Volatility Model Using Option and Spot Prices
In this paper we apply Bayesian methods to estimate a stochastic volatility model using both the prices of the asset and the prices of options written on the asset. Implicit posterior densities for the parameters of the volatility model, for the latent volatilities and for the market price of volatility risk are produced. The method involves augmenting the data generating process associated wit...
