چکیده

Recent empirical work has studied point processes of transactions in financial markets and observed clear time dependent patterns in these arrival times. However, these studies do not examine the timing of quoted price changes. This paper formulates a bivariate point process to jointly analyze transaction and quote arrivals. In microstructure models, transactions may reveal private information that is then incorporated into new prices. This paper examines the speed of this information flow and the circumstances that govern it. A joint likelihood function for trade and quote arrivals is specified which is a generalization of the ACD model of Engle and Russell (1998) and which recognizes that an intervening trade sometimes censors the time between a trade and the subsequent quote. Models of trades and quotes are estimated for 8 stocks using TAQ transaction data. A series of diagnostic tests and alternative estimates are presented. The essential finding for the arrival of price quotes, is that information flow variables, such as high transaction arrival rates, large volume per trade, and wide bid/ask spreads, all predict more rapid price revisions. This means prices respond more quickly to trades when information is flowing so that the price impacts of trades and ultimately the volatility of prices, are high in such circumstances. When quote arrivals that modify only depth are included as well, a somewhat different answer is found. Now the information variables such as volume and trade arrival rate and level of spread have a slowing or ambiguous effect on quote arrivals. This result is an indication that depth revisions are relatively more frequent when the market is slower. A possible explanation is that depth quotes are derived directly from the limit order book and limit orders are submitted more cautiously when the market shows informational trading.

Modelling security market events in continuous time: Intensity based, multivariate point process models

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 a...

Dynamics of Effective Quotes and Spreads between Consecutive Trades: a Real- Time Structural Model of Price Information

This paper develops a real-time structural model of price formation, and uses it to investigate the dynamics of effective quotes and bid-ask spreads between consecutive trades. There is some evidence that the effective bid-ask spreads increase over time when no orders arrive. The effective quotes are found to change over time when no orders arrive. The dynamics of bid and ask are different, and...

Asymmetric responses of ask and bid quotes to information in the foreign exchange market

We study the price discovery in a foreign exchange electronic limit order market on a daily basis, by examining the informativeness of ask and bid quotes in the process of price formation. Using the data of prices and trades in the Euro–Dollar spot market via Electronic Broking Services (EBS), we find bid quotes provide more price discovery. This dominance of bid quotes in price discovery is st...

Clustering of order arrivals, price impact and trade path optimisation

We fit a bivariate Hawkes process to arrival data for buy and sell trades in FX markets. The model can be used to predict future imbalance of buy and sell trades conditional on history of recent trade arrivals. We derive formulae for the raw price impact of a trade as a function of time assuming that trade arrivals are governed by a Hawkes process and that the price is a martingale, and show th...
