This paper studies the predictability of ultra high-frequency stock returns and durations to relevant price, volume and transactions events, using machine learning methods. We find that, contrary to low frequency and long horizon returns, where predictability is rare and inconsistent,...

We establish a feasible central limit theorem with convergence rate $n^{1/8}$ for the estimation of the {integrated volatility of volatility} (VoV) based on noisy high-frequency data with jumps. This is the first inference theory ever built for VoV estimation under such a general setup. The...

We propose a network model with communities to study the stock co-jump dependency. To estimate the community structure, we extend the SCORE algorithm in Jin (2015) and develop a Spectral Clustering On Ratios-of-Eigenvectors for networks with Dependent Multivariate Poisson edges (SCORE-DMP)...
