Xue, Y., Gençay, R., & Fagan, S. (2014). Jump detection with wavelets for high-frequency financial time series. Quantitative Finance, 14(8), 1427-1444. doi:10.1080/14697688.2013.830320
In all honesty, the math in this article was just a bit beyond our abilities. However, we did notice that the research makes use of NYSE TAQ (Trade & Quote) data, which seems like a wonderful opportunity to remind you all that your SFU Library provides access to...
- Monthly TAQ data (time stamped to the second): from 1997 to the present
- Daily TAQ data (time stamped to the millisecond): from Jan. 1 2012 to Dec. 31, 2012 only
Both sets of data are available for SFU researchers via WRDS. Happy researching! – MarkB … on behalf of your Business/Economics Librarian team:
