Abstract. A detailed analysis of correlation between stock returns at high frequency is compared with simple models of random walks. We focus in particular on the dependence of correlations on time scales -the so-called Epps effect. This provides a characterization of stochastic models of stock price returns which is appropriate at very high frequency.
