Structural breaks in point processes: With an application to reporting delays for trades on the New York stock exchange
Jonas Andersson ()
and Jan-Magnus Moberg ()
Abstract: In this paper some methods to determine the reporting
delays for trades on the New York stock exchange are proposed and compared.
The most successful method is based on a simple model of the quote revision
process and a bootstrap procedure. In contrast to previous methods it
accounts for autocorrelation and for variation originating both from the
quote process itself and from estimation errors. This is obtained by the
use of prediction intervals. The ability of the methods to determine when a
trade has occurred is studied and compared with a previous method by
Vergote (2005). This is done by means of a simulation study. An extensive
empirical study shows the applicability of the method and that more
reasonable results are obtained when accounting for autocorrelation and
estimation uncertainty.
