Equity Trading Volume and Volatility: Latent Information Arrivals and Common Long-Run Dependencies

Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 1999, vol. 17, issue 1, 9-21

Abstract: This article examines the behavior of equity trading volume and volatility for the individual firms composing the Standard & Poor's 100 composite index. Using multivariate spectral methods, the authors find that fractionally integrated processes best describe the long-run temporal dependencies in both series. Consistent with a stylized mixture-of-distributions hypothesis model in which the aggregate 'news'-arrival process possesses long-memory characteristics, the long-run hyperbolic decay rates appear to be common across each volume-volatility pair.
