Complex temporal structure of activity in on-line electronic auctions

Statistical Finance 2014-01-14 v1 Physics and Society

Abstract

We analyze empirical data from the internet auction site Aukro.cz. The time series of activity shows truncated fractal structure on scales from about 1 minute to about 1 day. The distribution of waiting times as well as the distribution of number of auctions within fixed interval is a power law, with exponents 1.51.5 and 33, respectively. Possible implications for the modeling of stock-market fluctuations are briefly discussed.
