We analyze the dynamics of price jumps and the impact of the European debt crisis using the high-frequency data reported by selected stock exchanges on the European continent during the period January 2008 to June 2012. We employ two methods to identify price jumps: Method 1 minimizes the...

We propose a frequency-specific framework to link the common features in the multivariate high-frequency price jumps with the low-frequency exogenous factors. We introduce the measures of commonality and multiplicity based on high-frequency data and define the notions of co-arrivals and co-jumps...

We performed an extensive simulation study to compare the relative performance of many price-jump indicators with respect to false positive and false negative probabilities. We simulated twenty different time series specifications with different intraday noise volatility patterns and price-jump...
