An Alternative Nonparametric Specification Test in Autoregressive Conditional Duration Models

This paper introduces an alternative testing procedure to test the distribution of the error term in the Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) class of models. In these models, the error term is normally interpreted as the standardized duration by which its probability distribution may have an important impact on the shape of the conditional intensity process of the financial duration in question.This paper illustrates that the testing procedure developed is applicable to various ACD types of models in the literature. Furthermore, when applied to parametric models, such as the Exponential ACD (EACD) and the weibull ACD (WACD), the test can be used as a diagnostic test of the accuracy of the required distributional assumption. Moreover, the hypothetical structure of the test is useful to the specification testing of a number of financial market microstructure hypotheses, especially those related to the information asymmetry in finance. Finally, the testing procedure introduced in this paper differs in many ways from those discussed in existing literatures. This paper shows theoretically and experimentally the statistical validity of the testing procedure, while demonstrating its usefulness and practicality using datasets from New York and Australia Stock Exchange.
Information Spillover Effect and Autoregressive Conditional Duration Models

This book studies the information spillover among financial markets and explores the intraday effect and ACD models with high frequency data. This book also contributes theoretically by providing a new statistical methodology with comparative advantages for analyzing comovements between two time series. It explores this new method by testing the information spillover between the Chinese stock market and the international market, futures market and spot market. Using the high frequency data, this book investigates the intraday effect and examines which type of ACD model is particularly suited in capturing financial duration dynamics. The book will be of invaluable use to scholars and graduate students interested in comovements among different financial markets and financial market microstructure and to investors and regulation departments looking to improve their risk management.
