Ultra-high-frequency lead–lag relationship and information arrival

Abstract

To our knowledge, this paper is the first study on the effect of information arrival on the leadlag relationship among related spot instruments. Based on a large dataset of ultra-highfrequency transaction prices time-stamped to the millisecond of the S&P500 index and its two most liquid tracking ETFs, we find that their lead-lag relationship is affected by the rate of information arrival whose proxy is the unexpected trading volume of these instruments. Specifically, when information arrives, the leadership of the leading instrument may strengthen or weaken depending on whether the leading or lagging instrument responds to that information. An increase in the unexpected volume of the leader strengthens its leadership whereas an increase in the unexpected volume of the lagger weakens this leadership. In addition to the strength of leadership, an increase in the unexpected volume in response to information arrival may also have opposite effects on the lead-lag correlation coefficient depending on whether that volume increase belongs to the leader or the lagger. Finally, we find that sophisticated investors have a more significant effect on the lead-lag relationship than non-sophisticated ones.

Effectiveness of Price Limit on Stock Market Network: A Time‐Migrated DCCA Approach

“…However, it should be further noticed that the price series have not only synchronous relationships but also asynchronous relationships in real-time stock markets. For example, there is a lead-lag effect on the stock market, which means that stock prices of some firms show a delayed or ahead temporal evolution pattern to other firms' stock prices [27][28][29][30]. Since a possible delay between the stocks could be accounted in the time series, we consider the following case in Figure 2(b): supposing two time series ξ(t) and η(t) in the stock market, we calculate the detrended correlations of each segment i in ξ(t) and η(t), but in some cases, the segment i of ξ(t) may have a relationship with segment j of η(t) in some cases.…”

Identification of a Cascade of Changes in Activities of Daily Living Preceding Short-Term Clinical Deterioration in Mild Alzheimer’s Disease Dementia via Lead-Lag Analysis

“…Lead and lag relationships have been investigated in biological, computational, and social sciences (e.g., [28,29]). Since we intended to identify functional and cognitive measures changing early in short-term, marked disease progression and leadlag analyses methodologically required a sufficient dynamic of change to ensure the significance of the results, patients with a deterioration of CDR-SOB ≥2 within 24 months were identified for analyses.…”
