Trading volume and the number of trades: A comparative study using high frequency data
نویسنده
چکیده
Trading volume and the number of trades are both used as proxies for market activity, with disagreement as to which is the better proxy for market activity. This paper investigates this issue using high frequency data for Cisco and Intel in 1997. A number of econometric methods are used, including GARCH augmented with lagged trading volume and number of trades, tests based on moment restrictions, regression analysis of volatility on volume and trades, normality of returns when standardized by volume and number of trades, and Correlation analysis using volatility generated from GARCH and realized volatility. Our results show that the number of trades is the better proxy for market activity.

متن کاملOn the possible volume of $mu$-$(v,k,t)$ trades
A $mu$-way $(v,k,t)$ $trade$ of volume $m$ consists of $mu$ disjoint collections $T_1$, $T_2, dots T_{mu}$, each of $m$ blocks, such that for every $t$-subset of $v$-set $V$ the number of blocks containing this t-subset is the same in each $T_i (1leq i leq mu)$. In other words any pair of collections ${T_i,T_j}$, $1leq i< j leq mu$ is a $(v,k,t)$ trade of volume $m$. In th...
