This study addresses two questions: where does price discovery occur for internationally-traded firms and ho do international stock prices adjust to an exchange rate shock ?These questions are answered by analyzing quotes originating in New York and Frankfurt for three large German firms,...

Using density forecasts, we compare the predictive performance of dur ation models that have been developed fo modelling intra-day data on stock markets. Our model portfolio encompasses the auto regressive conditional duration (ACD) model, its logarithmic version (Log-ACD), the threshold...

This paper develops a family of autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models that encompasses most specifications in the literature. The nesting relies on a Box-Cox transformation with shape parameter to the conditional duration process and a possibly asymmetric shocks impact curve.

This paper deals with the estimation and testing of conditional duration models by looking at the density and baseline hazard functions. More precisely, we focus on the distance between the aprametric density (or hazard rate) function implied by the duration process and its non-parametric estimate.
