MULTIVARIATE MARKED POISSON PROCESSES AND MARKET RELATED MULTIDIMENSIONAL INFORMATION FLOWS

Abstract

The class of marked Poisson processes and its connection with subordinated Lévy processes allow us to propose a new interpretation of multidimensional information flows and their relation to market movements. The new approach provides a unified framework for multivariate asset return models in a Lévy economy. In fact, we are able to recover several processes commonly used to model asset returns as subcases. We consider a first application example using the normal inverse Gaussian specification.
