This book provides a
methodological framework to model univariate and multivariate irregularly spaced financial
data. It gives a thorough review of recent developments in the econometric literature,
puts forward existing approaches and opens up new directions. The book presents
alternative ways to model so-called financial point processes using dynamic duration as
well as intensity models and discusses their ability to account for specific features of
point process data, like the occurrence of time-varying covariates, censoring mechanisms
and multivariate structures. Moreover, it illustrates the use of various types of
financial point processes to model financial market activity from different viewpoints and
to construct volatility and liquidity measures under explicit consideration of the passing
trading time.
