A GARCH analysis of dark-pool trades
The ability to trade in dark-pools without publicly announcing trading orders, concerns regulators and market participants alike. This paper analyzes the information contribution of dark trades to the intraday volatility process. The analysis is conducted by performing a GARCH estimation framework where errors follow the generalized error distribution (GED) and two different proxies for dark trading activity are separately included in the volatility equation. Results indicate that dark trades convey important information on the intraday volatility process. Furthermore, the results highlight the superiority of the proportion of dark trades relative to the proportion of dark volume in affecting the one-step-ahead density forecas
Background risk and quantum calculus
Abstract Infinitesimal calculus is heavily used in decision making analysis. This paper demonstrates that the application of quantum calculus in analysing preferences choice directly introduces background risk and its effects on risk-aversion, subjective probabilities and moment preferences. Quantum calculus provides another approach to the mathematical treatment of decision making, namely analysis of utility preferences
