Modeling and Explaining the Dynamics of European Union Allowance Prices at High-Frequency

In this paper we model the adjustment process of European Union Allowance(EUA) prices to the releases of announcements at high-frequency controlling forintraday periodicity, volatility clustering and volatility persistence.

The decisions of the European Com-mission on second National Allocation Plans have a strong and immediate impacton EUA prices. On the other hand, our results suggest that EUA prices are onlyweakly connected to indicators about the future economic development as well asthe current economic activity.[...]
