"This book studies the information spillover among financial markets and explores the intraday effect and ACD models with high frequency data. This book also contributes theoretically by
providing a new statistical methodology with comparative advantagesfor analyzing co-movements between two time series. It explores this new method by testing the information spillover between
the Chinese stock market and the international market, futures market and spot market. Using the high frequency data, this book investigates the intraday effect and examines which type of ACD
model is particularly suited in capturing financial duration dynamics. This book will be of invaluable use to scholars and graduate students interested in co-movements among different financial
markets and financial market microstructure and to investors and regulation departments looking to improve their risk management. "--
