Sluggish news reactions: A combinatorial approach for synchronizing stock jumps

Econometrics 2023-09-28 v1

Abstract

Stock prices often react sluggishly to news, producing gradual jumps and jump delays. Econometricians typically treat these sluggish reactions as microstructure effects and settle for a coarse sampling grid to guard against them. Synchronizing mistimed stock returns on a fine sampling grid allows us to automatically detect noisy jumps and better approximate the true common jumps in related stock prices.
