Econometrics of Financial Models and Market Microstructure Effects
用广义矩估计方法联合检验金融模型和市场微观结构效应，以随机游走模型和买卖价差效应模型为例，推导出估计量和检验统计量的解析式，发现调整微观结构效应后随机游走模型的拒绝不再成立。
This paper addresses the problem of testing financial models in the presence of market microstructure effects. The moment restrictions implied by the financial and market microstructure models are jointly tested using Hansen’s (1982) GMM approach. To illustrate the methodology, I consider the random walk model in combination with the bid-ask price effect model of Blume and Stambaugh (1983). Within this sufficiently simple framework, I obtain closed-form expressions for the estimators, standard errors of the estimators, and the test statistic, which affords an opportunity to examine the precision of the estimators and the power of the test as the return interval increases. I show that apparent rejections of the random walk model cannot be sustained when tests of the model are adjusted for market microstructure effects, and I discuss other applications of the methodology.
