Jump Clustering, Information Flows, and Stock Price Efficiency
Jian Chen
Abstract:We study the clustering behavior of stock return jumps modeled by a self/cross-exciting process embedded in a stochastic volatility model. Based on the model estimates, we propose a novel measurement of stock price efficiency characterized by the extent of jump clustering that stock returns exhibit. This measurement demonstrates the capability of capturing the speed at which stock prices assimilate new information, especially at the firm-specific level. Furthermore, we assess the predictability of self-excitin… Show more
