Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Over the last decade financial markets have been subjected to drastic changes consequent to the progress made in information technology. The huge increase in "number crunching" capability has enabled the financial community to use so called "tick data" on a wider scale. This brings a wealth of information about the behaviour of financial prices and gives new perspectives in the field of risk management and forecasting. It provides new ways to model and generate correlation and volatility estimates to input into pricing and risk models. The recent release of high frequency price data by financial exchanges and other data suppliers has translated into a steady flow of research papers on high frequency modelling produced by both academics and market practitioners. It addresses practical issues that are paramount to the financial community. The first section of the book is dedicated to price volatility and risk estimators, the second section concentrates on statistical features and forecasting issues. Finally the last section investigates how "tick data" affects the way that market practitioners operate in the financial markets by giving practical examples of applications. The topic of high frequency data in the financial markets is very broad and the implications for market practitioners are numerous. We hope that this book will contribute towards a finer knowledge of this very specialized field as well as giving some orientation in terms of future research.
