It is reported in the present paper that 1-min returns on TOPIX have exhibited significant autocorrelation at 5-min intervals since 1997/1998. Special quotes that are issued whenever there is a price jump in excess of a predetermined band seem to be the source of this autocorrelation, because...

We first report that one-minute returns on TOPIX have exhibited significant autocorrelation at five-minute intervals since 1997/98, which implies there is an arbitrage opportunity. Special quotes that are issued whenever there is a price jump in excess of a predetermined band seem to be the...

We analyze the mechanism of return and volatility spillover effects from the Chinese to the Japanese stock market.
