We revisit and demonstrate the Epps effect using two well-known non-parametric covariance estimators; the Malliavin and Mancino (MM), and Hayashi and Yoshida (HY) estimators. We show the existence of the Epps effect in the top 10 stocks from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) by various methods of aggregating Trade and Quote (TAQ) data. Concretely, we compare calendar time sampling with two volume time sampling methods: asset intrinsic volume time averaging, and volume time averaging synchronised in volume time across assets relative to the least and most liquid asset clocks. We reaffirm the argument made in much of the literature that the MM estimator is more representative of trade time reality because it does not over-estimate short-term correlations in an asynchronous event driven world. We confirm well known market phenomenology with the aim of providing some standardised R based simulation tools.

The Epps effect is key phenomenology relating to high frequency correlation dynamics in the financial markets. We argue that it can be used to determine whether trades at a tick-by-tick scale are best represented as samples from a Brownian diffusion,
perhaps dressed with jumps; or as samples from truly discrete events represented as connected point processes. This can answer the question of whether correlations are better understood as an emergent time scale dependent property. In other words: Is the Epps effect a bias? To this end, we derive the Epps effect arising from asynchrony and provide a refined method to correct for the effect. The correction is compared against two existing methods correcting for asynchrony. We propose three experiments to discriminate between possible underlying representations: whether the data is best thought to be generated by discrete connected events (as proxied by a D-type Hawkes process), or if they can be approximated to arise from Brownian diffusions, with or without jumps. We then demonstrate how the Hawkes representation easily recovers the phenomenology reported in the literature; phenomenology that cannot be recovered using a Brownian representation, without additional ad-hoc model complexity, even with jumps. The experiments are applied to trade and quote data from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. We find evidence suggesting that high frequency correlation dynamics are most faithfully recovered when tick-by-tick data is represented as a web of inter-connected discrete events rather than sampled or averaged from underlying continuous Brownian diffusions irrespective of whether or not they are dressed with jumps.
A novel version of the Continuous-Time Random Walk (CTRW) model with memory is developed. This memory means the dependence between arbitrary number of successive jumps of the process, while waiting times between jumps are considered as i.i.d. random
variables. The dependence was found by analysis of empirical histograms for the stochastic process of a single share price on a market within the high frequency time scale, and justified theoretically by considering bid-ask bounce mechanism containing some delay characteristic for any double-auction market. Our model turns out to be exactly analytically solvable, which enables a direct comparison of its predictions with their empirical counterparts, for instance, with empirical velocity autocorrelation function. Thus this paper significantly extends the capabilities of the CTRW formalism.
Time and the choice of measurement time scales is fundamental to how we choose to represent information and data in finance. This choice implies both the units and the aggregation scales for the resulting statistical measurables used to describe a fi
nancial system. It also defines how we measure the relationship between different traded instruments. As we move from high-frequency time scales, when individual trade and quote events occur, to the mesoscales when correlations emerge in ways that can conform to various latent models; it remains unclear what choice of time and sampling rates are appropriate to faithfully capture system dynamics and asset correlations for decision making. The Epps effect is the key phenomenology that couples the emergence of correlations to the choice of sampling time scales. Here we consider and compare the Epps effect under different sampling schemes in order to contrast three choices of time: calendar time, volume time and trade time. Using a toy model based on a Hawkes process, we are able to achieve simulation results that conform well with empirical dynamics. Concretely, we find that the Epps effect is present under all three definitions of time and that correlations emerge faster under trade time compared to calendar time, whereas correlations emerge linearly under volume time.
We compare the Malliavin-Mancino and Cuchiero-Teichmann Fourier instantaneous estimators to investigate the impact of the Epps effect arising from asynchrony in the instantaneous estimates. We demonstrate the instantaneous Epps effect under a simulat
ion setting and provide a simple method to ameliorate the effect. We find that using the previous tick interpolation in the Cuchiero-Teichmann estimator results in unstable estimates when dealing with asynchrony, while the ability to bypass the time domain with the Malliavin-Mancino estimator allows it to produce stable estimates and is therefore better suited for ultra-high frequency finance. An empirical analysis using Trade and Quote data from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange illustrates the instantaneous Epps effect and how the intraday correlation dynamics can vary between days for the same equity pair.
Following Boukai (2021) we present the Generalized Gamma (GG) distribution as a possible RND for modeling European options prices under Hestons (1993) stochastic volatility (SV) model. This distribution is seen as especially useful in situations in w
hich the spots price follows a negatively skewed distribution and hence, Black-Scholes based (i.e. the log-normal distribution) modeling is largely inapt. We apply the GG distribution as RND to modeling current market option data on three large market-index ETFs, namely the SPY, IWM and QQQ as well as on the TLT (an ETF that tracks an index of long term US Treasury bonds). The current option chain of each of the three market-index ETFs shows of a pronounced skew of their volatility `smile which indicates a likely distortion in the Black-Scholes modeling of such option data. Reflective of entirely different market expectations, this distortion appears not to exist in the TLT option data. We provide a thorough modeling of the available option data we have on each ETF (with the October 15, 2021 expiration) based on the GG distribution and compared it to the option pricing and RND modeling obtained directly from a well-calibrated Hestons (1993) SV model (both theoretically and empirically, using Monte-Carlo simulations of the spots price). All three market-index ETFs exhibit negatively skewed distributions which are well-matched with those derived under the GG distribution as RND. The inadequacy of the Black-Scholes modeling in such instances which involve negatively skewed distribution is further illustrated by its impact on the hedging factor, delta, and the immediate implications to the retail trader. In contrast, for the TLT ETF, which exhibits no such distortion to the volatility `smile, the three pricing models (i.e. Hestons, Black-Scholes and Generalized Gamma) appear to yield similar results.
