How should one combine stock and option markets in models of trade and asset price volatility? We address this question, paying particular attention to the identification of parameters of interest.


Inferring Information Frequency And Quality, Douglas G. Steigerwald, John Owens Dec 2004

Inferring Information Frequency And Quality, Douglas G. Steigerwald, John Owens

Douglas G. Steigerwald

We develop a microstructure model that, in contrast to previous models, allows one to estimate the frequency and quality of private information. In addition, the model produces stationary asset price and trading volume series. We find evidence that information arrives frequently within a day and that this information is of high quality. The frequent arrival of information, while in contrast to previous microstructure model estimates, accords with nonmodel-based estimates and the related literature testing the mixture-of-distributions hypothesis. To determine if the estimates are correctly reflecting the arrival of latent information, we estimate the parameters over half-hour intervals within the day. …
