1 Introduction

It is well recognized that the financial asset returns are notnormally distributed but instead exhibit more slowlydecaying and asymmetric tails Numerous studies have shownthat these fatter tails may be attributable to stochastic volatilityandor occasionally large absolute price changes calledldquojumpsrdquo in the underlying asset price process With theavailability of reliable financial high frequency data over thelast two decades many closer research studies on the dy-namics of financial asset prices have documented the presenceof jumps see [1ndash6] While both components can account forthe extreme tail behavior they have different mechanisms andfurther have very different implications on pricing and riskmanagement as explored by Bollerslev and Todorov [7]

In contrast to the numerous studies on tail risk resultingfrom stochastic volatility there is less work to study the jumptail risk However the recent financial crisis has furtherspurred the interest of studying the jump tail events Bol-lerslev et al [8] first used the extreme value theory to study the

tail distribution of jumps and the dependence of jumps withhigh frequency data eir research reveals a strong degree oftail dependence between the market-wide jumps and thesystematic jumps in individual stocks Aıt-Sahalia et al [9]also pointed out that the jump occurred in one market maypropagate over time and spread to other markets as welleyfirst used the Hawkes process to model the self-exciting andmutually exciting features of jumps and then established aclass of jump contagion asset pricemodele proposed jumpcontagion model is then applied to the problems of derivativepricing [10] and portfolio investment [11] In addition manystudies also consider the self-exciting features of jump in theproblems of options pricing [12] and volatility risk premiummodeling [13] However these econometric analysis of jumptransmission is often conducted using low sampling fre-quencies such as daily or lower As many researchers pointedout the real price paths of many financial assets change fast atthe microstructure level especially in periods of financialcrisis and moreover the tail-type jump events tend to occurmore frequently at the intraday frequency rather than daily or

lower frequencies [14ndash16] Hence combined with themethods on jumps with high frequency data this paperproposes a simple two-stage method to model the jumpcontagion at the intraday frequency We first use the non-parametric method to identify the intraday jump series withhigh frequency data and then combine the mutually excitingHawkes process and peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach toconstruct a mutually exciting jump tail contagion model Byusing the identified jump series at high frequency we canfocus on studying its self-exciting and mutually excitingfeatures at the intraday frequency

In comparison with the numerous research studies relatedto jump risk on developed financial markets there is limitedconsideration on emerging markets It is well known thatstock returns in emerging markets usually exhibit differentcharacteristics such as higher volatility fatter tails and moresudden shifts erefore jumps in emerging markets may bemore frequent and the ways in which they transmit amongdifferent markets may differ from developed markets Withthe enormous growth in the past decades the Chinese stockmarket has become a more and more influential emergingmarket among the world stock markets Hence the proposedmethod is applied to the Chinese stock market We explorethe contagion mechanism of the jump tail between the twostock markets in Chinarsquos mainland the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen stock market based on the proposedbivariate mutually exciting jump contagion model

Our research makes three differences from the existingliterature First by employing Hawkes process what we reallycare about is not the continuous risk caused by volatility butthe contagion features of jump tails or to say extreme jumprisks Second instead of extending the existing asset pricemodels with mutually exciting jump component we use asimple nonparametric method to separate jump componentfirst and then focus on modeling the jump tail contagionwhich allows us to study the contagion feature of jump at theintraday frequency ird in the modeling of the conditionalintensity of Hawkes process we consider the stimulationeffects of both the jump magnitude and occurrence time

e rest of this paper is organized as follows Section 2presents the extraction method of jump in asset price withhigh frequency data and proposes the mutually excitingjump tail contagion model e maximum likelihood esti-mation and goodness of fit of the model are further dis-cussed Section 3 presents the empirical analysis Section 4concludes the paper

where W (Wt) is an F-adapted standard Brownianmotion e drift b(j) (b

are progressively measurable processes which guarantee that(1) has a unique strong solution which are adapted andright continuous with left limits (cadlag) processes J(j)

(J(j)t ) is a pure jump processFrom the theory of high frequency data analysis we can

extract the jump component by consistently estimating thequadratic variation (QV) and the integrated volatility (IV) ofprice process Considering that there are T trading days forsimplicity assume that on the time horizon [0 T] theobservations are equally spaced On each trading day thereare totally n discrete observations of log-return Hence therealized volatility (RV) and the bipower variation (BV) onday t are given as follows

Barndorff-Neilsen and Shephard [1 2] demonstratedthat RV and BV converge to quadratic variation (QV) andintegrated volatility (IV) respectively when the time in-terval is small enough

To eliminate the intraday effects of high frequencyvolatility we adopt theTOD statistics proposed by Bollerslevet al [8]

In the empirical analysis in Section 3 we set τ 25 andω 049en the jump component can be estimated as thereturns on the intervals where jumps occurred because ifthere occurs a jump the jump will dominate the returnHence the identified jump series on day t for asset j can beobtained by

22 Bivariate Mutually Exciting Jump Contagion ModelHere we focus on modeling the contagion behavior of theleft jump tail since we usually care about the events thatlead to extreme losses We combine the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach in the extreme value theory(EVT) and the mutually exciting Hawkes process to con-struct the contagion model e Hawkes process is acounting process that models a sequence of lsquoarrivalsrsquo ofevents over time where each arrival excites the process inthe sense that the chance of a subsequent arrival is in-creased for some period after the initial arrival HenceHawkes process is often used to model the clustering ofevents Ogata [18] first introduced self-exciting Hawkesprocess in studying the earthquake occurrence ere areincreasing applications of Hawkes process in finance forinstance modeling of the risk [19 20] modeling of theduration between trades [21] or the arrival process of buyand sell orders [22] Aıt-Sahalia et al [9] use Hawkesprocess to capture the contagion of jumps in differentregions of the world In their modeling of jump contagionthe factor of interest that affects the conditional intensity ofjump is the occurrence times of earlier events However inthe financial high-frequency context it is natural to also letintensity depend on the magnitudes Hence in this paperwe consider that the conditional intensity could be affectedby both the magnitudes and occurrence times of previousjumps

Consider the bivariate situation Assume that J(j)

In this model we believe that the conditional intensity ofextreme jumprsquos arrival for asset j can be decomposed intotwo parts the background intensity part λj and the responsepart which is triggered by the self-exciting and cross-excitingeffects of previous extreme jumps from the asset itself andthe other asset respectively Specifically if an extreme jumpoccurs in the first asset its own intensity of extreme jumpswould increase immediately by θ11exp(δ11x

(1)k ) and then

decay exponentially with the parameter η11 And the in-tensity of extreme jumps in the second asset would increase

instantaneously by θ21exp(δ21x(1)k ) and then decay expo-

nentially with the parameter η21 Likewise if one extremejump occurs in the second asset its own intensity of extremejumps would rise by θ22exp(δ22x

(2)k ) and decay exponen-

tially with the parameter η22 while the intensity in the firstasset would increase by θ12exp(δ12x

exponentially with the parameter η12 erefore we can

analyze the contagion behavior of the extreme jump risksbased on this bivariate mutually exciting Hawkes process

31 Estimation of Mutually Exciting Jump Tail ContagionModel We collect the tick-by-tick transaction data of theShanghai (SH) composite index in the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen (SZ) component index in Shenzhenstock market from the Chinese RESSET high-frequencydatabasee sample starts on January 4 2006 and ends onDecember 31 2013 ere are totally 1932 valid tradingdays after excluding the holidays and the trading days withsuccessive missing values over intervals with length of tenminutes or above en we sample the tick-by-tick data atfive-minute frequency by assigning the last observation ineach five-minute interval as the price at five-minute fre-quency Finally we calculate the five-minute log-returnswith five-minute prices for these two indexese followinganalysis is carried out by using these five-minute returndata

Firstly we extract the jump components from the five-minute returns by using the threshold method proposed inSection 21 Also we are interested in the negative jumpsen we use the mean excess function to find an appro-priate threshold which can make the jump tails subject tothe generalized Pareto distribution Figure 1 shows themean excess functions of the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively From the figure we canobtain that both mean excess functions tend to be positivelylinear when the threshold is over 03 erefore we select03 as the threshold with which we can identify the extremejumps and obtain the excesses of extreme jumps for the twoindexes

Table 1 reports some summary statistics about the ex-treme jumps over threshold identified in the SH compositeindex and SZ component index respectively

With the identified extreme jump times and their marksie magnitudes of the excesses of extreme jumps for thesetwo indexes we next estimate the bivariate mutually excitingjump contagion model by the maximum likelihood esti-mation method Table 2 reports the estimation results of twogeneralized Pareto distributions

Figure 2 gives the QQ-plots of two fitted generalizedPareto distributions for the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively which show that the negativejump tails of both indexes are well fitted by the generalizedPareto distribution

Table 3 reports the estimation results of parameters inthe conditional ground intensity of Hawkes process

Moreover we use the bootstrap method to obtain thestandard errors of parameter estimation by Monte Carlosimulation In particular we first simulate 1000 paths of thebivariate Hawkes process with the estimated values ofparameters and then run the parameter estimation pro-cedure with these 1000 bootstrap samples to get 1000 es-timates of the parameters en we can compute thestandard error of each parameter with these 1000 estimatedvalues From the results of intensity process in the Shanghaistock market we can see that only background intensity issignificant which shows that there are no significant self-exciting and mutually exciting effects in the Shanghai stockmarket

However from the results of the Shenzhen stock marketwe can see that λ2 δ21 and η21 are significant at 5 level andθ21 is significant at 10 level which shows that the jumpintensity in the Shenzhen stock market are mainly affectedby the background factors and jumps occurred in theShanghai stock market as well Both the locations and sizesof jumps occurred in the Shanghai stock market have sig-nificant stimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhenstock market ese results can be attributed to the differentcharacteristics of the two stock markets e Shanghai stockmarket mainly consists of large-cap stocks such as financialstocks or blue chips and the companies listed in Shanghaistock exchange are often the leading enterprises in their ownindustry while the main components of the Shenzhen stockmarket are medium and small-cap stocks and growth en-terprises market board erefore the performance ofShenzhen component index tends to follow the changes inthe Shanghai composite index

With the estimation results the simulated paths of theconditional ground intensities for the two indexes are givenin Figure 3 e figure shows that the intensity of the SZcomponent index is more volatile than the SH compositeindex since there exists cross-exciting effect in the Shenzhenstock market apart from the influence of common factorsFigure 4 presents the QQ-plots of two fitted Hawkes processfor the SH composite index and SZ component index re-spectively From the figure it can be easily seen that thesample quantiles and the theoretical quantiles of exponentialdistribution almost lie in a line which indicates that theobservations are well fitted by the model

32 Prediction Here we consider the problem of predictingthe future jump events out of sample Since our model isbased on Hawkes point process it is impossible to use it topredict the exact locations of future jumps However similarto the forecasting of earthquake we can forecast theprobability of the future jumprsquos arrivals within a time periodSuch kind of forecasting can be implemented by simulatingthe bivariate Hawkes process with the estimated intensityfunction repeatedly and then calculate the frequency of thearrivals within a given time interval en we can calculatethe frequencies of the arrivals within different time periodsand finally get the empirical distribution of times for futurejump arrivals For instance we can obtain the empiricaldistribution of days within which the next jump occurs or

the next two jumps and other situations occur Hence withthe estimated results in Section 31 we simulate 2000 pathsof our model over the next month after December 31 2013

ie January in 2014 We choose the following one month asthe time interval of the simulation and prediction becausethis time period is long enough for the future occurrences of

From Table 4 we can obtain that for the SH compositeindex the frequency that the next negative extreme jumpoccurs within one day after December 31 2013 is 03790within two days 06195 (sum of the frequencies of the firsttwo days) and within three days 07545 (sum of thefrequencies of the first three days) As for the SZ com-ponent index the corresponding frequencies are 0374006060 and 07550 respectively In summary our pre-diction results show that in both stock markets the fre-quency that the next negative extreme jump occurs withinthree days is above 075 which implies that the next jumpoccurs within following three days with a relatively largeprobability

To check the performance of our prediction we use theintraday five-minute high frequency data from January 22014 to January 31 2014 and separate the negative extremejumps for the two indexes to make a comparison with ourprediction results We find that in the Shanghai stockmarket the first jump occurs at 10 10 am on January 2 andin the Shenzhen stock market the first jump occurs at 09 35am on January 3 Overall the arrivals of the first jump areobserved within two days for the two stock markets whichverifies our above prediction

In order to make the idea of the prediction more clearwe proceed to report the frequency tables and histograms ofthe second extreme jump occurrence on following days forthe SH composite index and SZ component index in Table 5and Figure 6 respectively

From the results in Table 5 we can obtain that thefrequencies that first two jumps occur in the SH compositeindex within 3 days and within 6 days are 04415 and 0791respectively And the frequencies that first two jumps occurin the SZ component index within 3 days and within 6 daysare 0444 and 0798 respectively From the results ofidentified jumps with real data we find that the second jumpoccurs at 9 35 am on Januray 3 and 10 00 am on January3 respectively for the SH composite index and SZ com-ponent index which means that the arrivals of the next twojumps are observed within two days for the two indexes eresults are compatible with our prediction

Next we adopt the procedure described above repeatedlyand use the rolling window method to make prediction overthe months from February to December in 2014 e per-formances of total 11 predictions with rolling window arereported in Table 6 for the SH composite index and inTable 7 for the SZ component index In both tables wereport the frequencies of the first jump occurring within 3days and 7 days over the forecasting interval and theidentified dates and times of the first extreme jump oc-currence by using the actual data for comparison FromTables 6 and 7 we can see that for all the rolling windowpredictions the frequencies of the first extreme jump oc-currence in 3 days are around 75 a relatively largeprobability and the frequencies in 7 days are around 97 avery high probability Furthermore the jump arrivals withrelatively large probability in every rolling window

4 Conclusions

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process

Page 2: ModelingFinancialIntradayJumpTailContagionwithHigh ...consideration on emerging markets. It is well known that stock returns in emerging markets usually exhibit different characteristics,

lower frequencies [14ndash16] Hence combined with themethods on jumps with high frequency data this paperproposes a simple two-stage method to model the jumpcontagion at the intraday frequency We first use the non-parametric method to identify the intraday jump series withhigh frequency data and then combine the mutually excitingHawkes process and peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach toconstruct a mutually exciting jump tail contagion model Byusing the identified jump series at high frequency we canfocus on studying its self-exciting and mutually excitingfeatures at the intraday frequency

In comparison with the numerous research studies relatedto jump risk on developed financial markets there is limitedconsideration on emerging markets It is well known thatstock returns in emerging markets usually exhibit differentcharacteristics such as higher volatility fatter tails and moresudden shifts erefore jumps in emerging markets may bemore frequent and the ways in which they transmit amongdifferent markets may differ from developed markets Withthe enormous growth in the past decades the Chinese stockmarket has become a more and more influential emergingmarket among the world stock markets Hence the proposedmethod is applied to the Chinese stock market We explorethe contagion mechanism of the jump tail between the twostock markets in Chinarsquos mainland the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen stock market based on the proposedbivariate mutually exciting jump contagion model

Our research makes three differences from the existingliterature First by employing Hawkes process what we reallycare about is not the continuous risk caused by volatility butthe contagion features of jump tails or to say extreme jumprisks Second instead of extending the existing asset pricemodels with mutually exciting jump component we use asimple nonparametric method to separate jump componentfirst and then focus on modeling the jump tail contagionwhich allows us to study the contagion feature of jump at theintraday frequency ird in the modeling of the conditionalintensity of Hawkes process we consider the stimulationeffects of both the jump magnitude and occurrence time

e rest of this paper is organized as follows Section 2presents the extraction method of jump in asset price withhigh frequency data and proposes the mutually excitingjump tail contagion model e maximum likelihood esti-mation and goodness of fit of the model are further dis-cussed Section 3 presents the empirical analysis Section 4concludes the paper

In the empirical analysis in Section 3 we set τ 25 andω 049en the jump component can be estimated as thereturns on the intervals where jumps occurred because ifthere occurs a jump the jump will dominate the returnHence the identified jump series on day t for asset j can beobtained by

22 Bivariate Mutually Exciting Jump Contagion ModelHere we focus on modeling the contagion behavior of theleft jump tail since we usually care about the events thatlead to extreme losses We combine the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach in the extreme value theory(EVT) and the mutually exciting Hawkes process to con-struct the contagion model e Hawkes process is acounting process that models a sequence of lsquoarrivalsrsquo ofevents over time where each arrival excites the process inthe sense that the chance of a subsequent arrival is in-creased for some period after the initial arrival HenceHawkes process is often used to model the clustering ofevents Ogata [18] first introduced self-exciting Hawkesprocess in studying the earthquake occurrence ere areincreasing applications of Hawkes process in finance forinstance modeling of the risk [19 20] modeling of theduration between trades [21] or the arrival process of buyand sell orders [22] Aıt-Sahalia et al [9] use Hawkesprocess to capture the contagion of jumps in differentregions of the world In their modeling of jump contagionthe factor of interest that affects the conditional intensity ofjump is the occurrence times of earlier events However inthe financial high-frequency context it is natural to also letintensity depend on the magnitudes Hence in this paperwe consider that the conditional intensity could be affectedby both the magnitudes and occurrence times of previousjumps

Consider the bivariate situation Assume that J(j)

In this model we believe that the conditional intensity ofextreme jumprsquos arrival for asset j can be decomposed intotwo parts the background intensity part λj and the responsepart which is triggered by the self-exciting and cross-excitingeffects of previous extreme jumps from the asset itself andthe other asset respectively Specifically if an extreme jumpoccurs in the first asset its own intensity of extreme jumpswould increase immediately by θ11exp(δ11x

(1)k ) and then

decay exponentially with the parameter η11 And the in-tensity of extreme jumps in the second asset would increase

instantaneously by θ21exp(δ21x(1)k ) and then decay expo-

nentially with the parameter η21 Likewise if one extremejump occurs in the second asset its own intensity of extremejumps would rise by θ22exp(δ22x

(2)k ) and decay exponen-

tially with the parameter η22 while the intensity in the firstasset would increase by θ12exp(δ12x

exponentially with the parameter η12 erefore we can

analyze the contagion behavior of the extreme jump risksbased on this bivariate mutually exciting Hawkes process

3 Empirical Analysis

31 Estimation of Mutually Exciting Jump Tail ContagionModel We collect the tick-by-tick transaction data of theShanghai (SH) composite index in the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen (SZ) component index in Shenzhenstock market from the Chinese RESSET high-frequencydatabasee sample starts on January 4 2006 and ends onDecember 31 2013 ere are totally 1932 valid tradingdays after excluding the holidays and the trading days withsuccessive missing values over intervals with length of tenminutes or above en we sample the tick-by-tick data atfive-minute frequency by assigning the last observation ineach five-minute interval as the price at five-minute fre-quency Finally we calculate the five-minute log-returnswith five-minute prices for these two indexese followinganalysis is carried out by using these five-minute returndata

Firstly we extract the jump components from the five-minute returns by using the threshold method proposed inSection 21 Also we are interested in the negative jumpsen we use the mean excess function to find an appro-priate threshold which can make the jump tails subject tothe generalized Pareto distribution Figure 1 shows themean excess functions of the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively From the figure we canobtain that both mean excess functions tend to be positivelylinear when the threshold is over 03 erefore we select03 as the threshold with which we can identify the extremejumps and obtain the excesses of extreme jumps for the twoindexes

Table 1 reports some summary statistics about the ex-treme jumps over threshold identified in the SH compositeindex and SZ component index respectively

With the identified extreme jump times and their marksie magnitudes of the excesses of extreme jumps for thesetwo indexes we next estimate the bivariate mutually excitingjump contagion model by the maximum likelihood esti-mation method Table 2 reports the estimation results of twogeneralized Pareto distributions

Figure 2 gives the QQ-plots of two fitted generalizedPareto distributions for the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively which show that the negativejump tails of both indexes are well fitted by the generalizedPareto distribution

Table 3 reports the estimation results of parameters inthe conditional ground intensity of Hawkes process

Moreover we use the bootstrap method to obtain thestandard errors of parameter estimation by Monte Carlosimulation In particular we first simulate 1000 paths of thebivariate Hawkes process with the estimated values ofparameters and then run the parameter estimation pro-cedure with these 1000 bootstrap samples to get 1000 es-timates of the parameters en we can compute thestandard error of each parameter with these 1000 estimatedvalues From the results of intensity process in the Shanghaistock market we can see that only background intensity issignificant which shows that there are no significant self-exciting and mutually exciting effects in the Shanghai stockmarket

However from the results of the Shenzhen stock marketwe can see that λ2 δ21 and η21 are significant at 5 level andθ21 is significant at 10 level which shows that the jumpintensity in the Shenzhen stock market are mainly affectedby the background factors and jumps occurred in theShanghai stock market as well Both the locations and sizesof jumps occurred in the Shanghai stock market have sig-nificant stimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhenstock market ese results can be attributed to the differentcharacteristics of the two stock markets e Shanghai stockmarket mainly consists of large-cap stocks such as financialstocks or blue chips and the companies listed in Shanghaistock exchange are often the leading enterprises in their ownindustry while the main components of the Shenzhen stockmarket are medium and small-cap stocks and growth en-terprises market board erefore the performance ofShenzhen component index tends to follow the changes inthe Shanghai composite index

With the estimation results the simulated paths of theconditional ground intensities for the two indexes are givenin Figure 3 e figure shows that the intensity of the SZcomponent index is more volatile than the SH compositeindex since there exists cross-exciting effect in the Shenzhenstock market apart from the influence of common factorsFigure 4 presents the QQ-plots of two fitted Hawkes processfor the SH composite index and SZ component index re-spectively From the figure it can be easily seen that thesample quantiles and the theoretical quantiles of exponentialdistribution almost lie in a line which indicates that theobservations are well fitted by the model

32 Prediction Here we consider the problem of predictingthe future jump events out of sample Since our model isbased on Hawkes point process it is impossible to use it topredict the exact locations of future jumps However similarto the forecasting of earthquake we can forecast theprobability of the future jumprsquos arrivals within a time periodSuch kind of forecasting can be implemented by simulatingthe bivariate Hawkes process with the estimated intensityfunction repeatedly and then calculate the frequency of thearrivals within a given time interval en we can calculatethe frequencies of the arrivals within different time periodsand finally get the empirical distribution of times for futurejump arrivals For instance we can obtain the empiricaldistribution of days within which the next jump occurs or

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 5

the next two jumps and other situations occur Hence withthe estimated results in Section 31 we simulate 2000 pathsof our model over the next month after December 31 2013

ie January in 2014 We choose the following one month asthe time interval of the simulation and prediction becausethis time period is long enough for the future occurrences of

From Table 4 we can obtain that for the SH compositeindex the frequency that the next negative extreme jumpoccurs within one day after December 31 2013 is 03790within two days 06195 (sum of the frequencies of the firsttwo days) and within three days 07545 (sum of thefrequencies of the first three days) As for the SZ com-ponent index the corresponding frequencies are 0374006060 and 07550 respectively In summary our pre-diction results show that in both stock markets the fre-quency that the next negative extreme jump occurs withinthree days is above 075 which implies that the next jumpoccurs within following three days with a relatively largeprobability

To check the performance of our prediction we use theintraday five-minute high frequency data from January 22014 to January 31 2014 and separate the negative extremejumps for the two indexes to make a comparison with ourprediction results We find that in the Shanghai stockmarket the first jump occurs at 10 10 am on January 2 andin the Shenzhen stock market the first jump occurs at 09 35am on January 3 Overall the arrivals of the first jump areobserved within two days for the two stock markets whichverifies our above prediction

In order to make the idea of the prediction more clearwe proceed to report the frequency tables and histograms ofthe second extreme jump occurrence on following days forthe SH composite index and SZ component index in Table 5and Figure 6 respectively

From the results in Table 5 we can obtain that thefrequencies that first two jumps occur in the SH compositeindex within 3 days and within 6 days are 04415 and 0791respectively And the frequencies that first two jumps occurin the SZ component index within 3 days and within 6 daysare 0444 and 0798 respectively From the results ofidentified jumps with real data we find that the second jumpoccurs at 9 35 am on Januray 3 and 10 00 am on January3 respectively for the SH composite index and SZ com-ponent index which means that the arrivals of the next twojumps are observed within two days for the two indexes eresults are compatible with our prediction

Next we adopt the procedure described above repeatedlyand use the rolling window method to make prediction overthe months from February to December in 2014 e per-formances of total 11 predictions with rolling window arereported in Table 6 for the SH composite index and inTable 7 for the SZ component index In both tables wereport the frequencies of the first jump occurring within 3days and 7 days over the forecasting interval and theidentified dates and times of the first extreme jump oc-currence by using the actual data for comparison FromTables 6 and 7 we can see that for all the rolling windowpredictions the frequencies of the first extreme jump oc-currence in 3 days are around 75 a relatively largeprobability and the frequencies in 7 days are around 97 avery high probability Furthermore the jump arrivals withrelatively large probability in every rolling window

4 Conclusions

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process

22 Bivariate Mutually Exciting Jump Contagion ModelHere we focus on modeling the contagion behavior of theleft jump tail since we usually care about the events thatlead to extreme losses We combine the peaks-over-threshold (POT) approach in the extreme value theory(EVT) and the mutually exciting Hawkes process to con-struct the contagion model e Hawkes process is acounting process that models a sequence of lsquoarrivalsrsquo ofevents over time where each arrival excites the process inthe sense that the chance of a subsequent arrival is in-creased for some period after the initial arrival HenceHawkes process is often used to model the clustering ofevents Ogata [18] first introduced self-exciting Hawkesprocess in studying the earthquake occurrence ere areincreasing applications of Hawkes process in finance forinstance modeling of the risk [19 20] modeling of theduration between trades [21] or the arrival process of buyand sell orders [22] Aıt-Sahalia et al [9] use Hawkesprocess to capture the contagion of jumps in differentregions of the world In their modeling of jump contagionthe factor of interest that affects the conditional intensity ofjump is the occurrence times of earlier events However inthe financial high-frequency context it is natural to also letintensity depend on the magnitudes Hence in this paperwe consider that the conditional intensity could be affectedby both the magnitudes and occurrence times of previousjumps

Consider the bivariate situation Assume that J(j)

j 1 2 is the identified negative jump series of two assetsfor all the trading days over the fixed time interval [0 T]according to the approach proposed in Section 21 Set u1 gt 0

In this model we believe that the conditional intensity ofextreme jumprsquos arrival for asset j can be decomposed intotwo parts the background intensity part λj and the responsepart which is triggered by the self-exciting and cross-excitingeffects of previous extreme jumps from the asset itself andthe other asset respectively Specifically if an extreme jumpoccurs in the first asset its own intensity of extreme jumpswould increase immediately by θ11exp(δ11x

(1)k ) and then

decay exponentially with the parameter η11 And the in-tensity of extreme jumps in the second asset would increase

instantaneously by θ21exp(δ21x(1)k ) and then decay expo-

nentially with the parameter η21 Likewise if one extremejump occurs in the second asset its own intensity of extremejumps would rise by θ22exp(δ22x

(2)k ) and decay exponen-

tially with the parameter η22 while the intensity in the firstasset would increase by θ12exp(δ12x

(2)k ) and then decay

exponentially with the parameter η12 erefore we can

analyze the contagion behavior of the extreme jump risksbased on this bivariate mutually exciting Hawkes process

3 Empirical Analysis

31 Estimation of Mutually Exciting Jump Tail ContagionModel We collect the tick-by-tick transaction data of theShanghai (SH) composite index in the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen (SZ) component index in Shenzhenstock market from the Chinese RESSET high-frequencydatabasee sample starts on January 4 2006 and ends onDecember 31 2013 ere are totally 1932 valid tradingdays after excluding the holidays and the trading days withsuccessive missing values over intervals with length of tenminutes or above en we sample the tick-by-tick data atfive-minute frequency by assigning the last observation ineach five-minute interval as the price at five-minute fre-quency Finally we calculate the five-minute log-returnswith five-minute prices for these two indexese followinganalysis is carried out by using these five-minute returndata

Firstly we extract the jump components from the five-minute returns by using the threshold method proposed inSection 21 Also we are interested in the negative jumpsen we use the mean excess function to find an appro-priate threshold which can make the jump tails subject tothe generalized Pareto distribution Figure 1 shows themean excess functions of the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively From the figure we canobtain that both mean excess functions tend to be positivelylinear when the threshold is over 03 erefore we select03 as the threshold with which we can identify the extremejumps and obtain the excesses of extreme jumps for the twoindexes

Table 1 reports some summary statistics about the ex-treme jumps over threshold identified in the SH compositeindex and SZ component index respectively

With the identified extreme jump times and their marksie magnitudes of the excesses of extreme jumps for thesetwo indexes we next estimate the bivariate mutually excitingjump contagion model by the maximum likelihood esti-mation method Table 2 reports the estimation results of twogeneralized Pareto distributions

Figure 2 gives the QQ-plots of two fitted generalizedPareto distributions for the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively which show that the negativejump tails of both indexes are well fitted by the generalizedPareto distribution

Table 3 reports the estimation results of parameters inthe conditional ground intensity of Hawkes process

Moreover we use the bootstrap method to obtain thestandard errors of parameter estimation by Monte Carlosimulation In particular we first simulate 1000 paths of thebivariate Hawkes process with the estimated values ofparameters and then run the parameter estimation pro-cedure with these 1000 bootstrap samples to get 1000 es-timates of the parameters en we can compute thestandard error of each parameter with these 1000 estimatedvalues From the results of intensity process in the Shanghaistock market we can see that only background intensity issignificant which shows that there are no significant self-exciting and mutually exciting effects in the Shanghai stockmarket

However from the results of the Shenzhen stock marketwe can see that λ2 δ21 and η21 are significant at 5 level andθ21 is significant at 10 level which shows that the jumpintensity in the Shenzhen stock market are mainly affectedby the background factors and jumps occurred in theShanghai stock market as well Both the locations and sizesof jumps occurred in the Shanghai stock market have sig-nificant stimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhenstock market ese results can be attributed to the differentcharacteristics of the two stock markets e Shanghai stockmarket mainly consists of large-cap stocks such as financialstocks or blue chips and the companies listed in Shanghaistock exchange are often the leading enterprises in their ownindustry while the main components of the Shenzhen stockmarket are medium and small-cap stocks and growth en-terprises market board erefore the performance ofShenzhen component index tends to follow the changes inthe Shanghai composite index

With the estimation results the simulated paths of theconditional ground intensities for the two indexes are givenin Figure 3 e figure shows that the intensity of the SZcomponent index is more volatile than the SH compositeindex since there exists cross-exciting effect in the Shenzhenstock market apart from the influence of common factorsFigure 4 presents the QQ-plots of two fitted Hawkes processfor the SH composite index and SZ component index re-spectively From the figure it can be easily seen that thesample quantiles and the theoretical quantiles of exponentialdistribution almost lie in a line which indicates that theobservations are well fitted by the model

32 Prediction Here we consider the problem of predictingthe future jump events out of sample Since our model isbased on Hawkes point process it is impossible to use it topredict the exact locations of future jumps However similarto the forecasting of earthquake we can forecast theprobability of the future jumprsquos arrivals within a time periodSuch kind of forecasting can be implemented by simulatingthe bivariate Hawkes process with the estimated intensityfunction repeatedly and then calculate the frequency of thearrivals within a given time interval en we can calculatethe frequencies of the arrivals within different time periodsand finally get the empirical distribution of times for futurejump arrivals For instance we can obtain the empiricaldistribution of days within which the next jump occurs or

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society 5

the next two jumps and other situations occur Hence withthe estimated results in Section 31 we simulate 2000 pathsof our model over the next month after December 31 2013

ie January in 2014 We choose the following one month asthe time interval of the simulation and prediction becausethis time period is long enough for the future occurrences of

From Table 4 we can obtain that for the SH compositeindex the frequency that the next negative extreme jumpoccurs within one day after December 31 2013 is 03790within two days 06195 (sum of the frequencies of the firsttwo days) and within three days 07545 (sum of thefrequencies of the first three days) As for the SZ com-ponent index the corresponding frequencies are 0374006060 and 07550 respectively In summary our pre-diction results show that in both stock markets the fre-quency that the next negative extreme jump occurs withinthree days is above 075 which implies that the next jumpoccurs within following three days with a relatively largeprobability

To check the performance of our prediction we use theintraday five-minute high frequency data from January 22014 to January 31 2014 and separate the negative extremejumps for the two indexes to make a comparison with ourprediction results We find that in the Shanghai stockmarket the first jump occurs at 10 10 am on January 2 andin the Shenzhen stock market the first jump occurs at 09 35am on January 3 Overall the arrivals of the first jump areobserved within two days for the two stock markets whichverifies our above prediction

In order to make the idea of the prediction more clearwe proceed to report the frequency tables and histograms ofthe second extreme jump occurrence on following days forthe SH composite index and SZ component index in Table 5and Figure 6 respectively

From the results in Table 5 we can obtain that thefrequencies that first two jumps occur in the SH compositeindex within 3 days and within 6 days are 04415 and 0791respectively And the frequencies that first two jumps occurin the SZ component index within 3 days and within 6 daysare 0444 and 0798 respectively From the results ofidentified jumps with real data we find that the second jumpoccurs at 9 35 am on Januray 3 and 10 00 am on January3 respectively for the SH composite index and SZ com-ponent index which means that the arrivals of the next twojumps are observed within two days for the two indexes eresults are compatible with our prediction

Next we adopt the procedure described above repeatedlyand use the rolling window method to make prediction overthe months from February to December in 2014 e per-formances of total 11 predictions with rolling window arereported in Table 6 for the SH composite index and inTable 7 for the SZ component index In both tables wereport the frequencies of the first jump occurring within 3days and 7 days over the forecasting interval and theidentified dates and times of the first extreme jump oc-currence by using the actual data for comparison FromTables 6 and 7 we can see that for all the rolling windowpredictions the frequencies of the first extreme jump oc-currence in 3 days are around 75 a relatively largeprobability and the frequencies in 7 days are around 97 avery high probability Furthermore the jump arrivals withrelatively large probability in every rolling window

4 Conclusions

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process

we take into account the effects of both occurrence time andexcess jump magnitude We then discuss the maximumlikelihood estimation and the goodness of fit of the modelFinally we apply the proposed method to the real high fre-quency data in the Chinese stock market We first separate thenegative jump series from the five-minute high frequency dataof the Shanghai composite index and Shenzhen componentindex which are the two main market indexes in China andthen apply the proposed bivariate mutually exciting jumpcontagion model to the identified jump series e empiricalresults show that mutually exciting feature is significant in theShenzhen stock market while both self-exciting and mutuallyexciting features are not significant in the Shanghai stockmarket In particular the intensity of extreme jump occurrencein the Shanghai stock market is only significantly affected bythe background factors while the intensity in the Shenzhenstock market is significantly affected by the background factorsand the extreme jump events in the Shanghai stock market aswell Both the occurrence times and magnitudes of jumpsoccurred in the Shanghai stock market have significantstimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhen stockmarket Furthermore the prediction results of the future jumpevents based on simulation demonstrate our modelrsquos power

instantaneously by θ21exp(δ21x(1)k ) and then decay expo-

nentially with the parameter η21 Likewise if one extremejump occurs in the second asset its own intensity of extremejumps would rise by θ22exp(δ22x

analyze the contagion behavior of the extreme jump risksbased on this bivariate mutually exciting Hawkes process

3 Empirical Analysis

31 Estimation of Mutually Exciting Jump Tail ContagionModel We collect the tick-by-tick transaction data of theShanghai (SH) composite index in the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen (SZ) component index in Shenzhenstock market from the Chinese RESSET high-frequencydatabasee sample starts on January 4 2006 and ends onDecember 31 2013 ere are totally 1932 valid tradingdays after excluding the holidays and the trading days withsuccessive missing values over intervals with length of tenminutes or above en we sample the tick-by-tick data atfive-minute frequency by assigning the last observation ineach five-minute interval as the price at five-minute fre-quency Finally we calculate the five-minute log-returnswith five-minute prices for these two indexese followinganalysis is carried out by using these five-minute returndata

Firstly we extract the jump components from the five-minute returns by using the threshold method proposed inSection 21 Also we are interested in the negative jumpsen we use the mean excess function to find an appro-priate threshold which can make the jump tails subject tothe generalized Pareto distribution Figure 1 shows themean excess functions of the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively From the figure we canobtain that both mean excess functions tend to be positivelylinear when the threshold is over 03 erefore we select03 as the threshold with which we can identify the extremejumps and obtain the excesses of extreme jumps for the twoindexes

Table 1 reports some summary statistics about the ex-treme jumps over threshold identified in the SH compositeindex and SZ component index respectively

With the identified extreme jump times and their marksie magnitudes of the excesses of extreme jumps for thesetwo indexes we next estimate the bivariate mutually excitingjump contagion model by the maximum likelihood esti-mation method Table 2 reports the estimation results of twogeneralized Pareto distributions

Figure 2 gives the QQ-plots of two fitted generalizedPareto distributions for the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively which show that the negativejump tails of both indexes are well fitted by the generalizedPareto distribution

Table 3 reports the estimation results of parameters inthe conditional ground intensity of Hawkes process

Moreover we use the bootstrap method to obtain thestandard errors of parameter estimation by Monte Carlosimulation In particular we first simulate 1000 paths of thebivariate Hawkes process with the estimated values ofparameters and then run the parameter estimation pro-cedure with these 1000 bootstrap samples to get 1000 es-timates of the parameters en we can compute thestandard error of each parameter with these 1000 estimatedvalues From the results of intensity process in the Shanghaistock market we can see that only background intensity issignificant which shows that there are no significant self-exciting and mutually exciting effects in the Shanghai stockmarket

However from the results of the Shenzhen stock marketwe can see that λ2 δ21 and η21 are significant at 5 level andθ21 is significant at 10 level which shows that the jumpintensity in the Shenzhen stock market are mainly affectedby the background factors and jumps occurred in theShanghai stock market as well Both the locations and sizesof jumps occurred in the Shanghai stock market have sig-nificant stimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhenstock market ese results can be attributed to the differentcharacteristics of the two stock markets e Shanghai stockmarket mainly consists of large-cap stocks such as financialstocks or blue chips and the companies listed in Shanghaistock exchange are often the leading enterprises in their ownindustry while the main components of the Shenzhen stockmarket are medium and small-cap stocks and growth en-terprises market board erefore the performance ofShenzhen component index tends to follow the changes inthe Shanghai composite index

With the estimation results the simulated paths of theconditional ground intensities for the two indexes are givenin Figure 3 e figure shows that the intensity of the SZcomponent index is more volatile than the SH compositeindex since there exists cross-exciting effect in the Shenzhenstock market apart from the influence of common factorsFigure 4 presents the QQ-plots of two fitted Hawkes processfor the SH composite index and SZ component index re-spectively From the figure it can be easily seen that thesample quantiles and the theoretical quantiles of exponentialdistribution almost lie in a line which indicates that theobservations are well fitted by the model

32 Prediction Here we consider the problem of predictingthe future jump events out of sample Since our model isbased on Hawkes point process it is impossible to use it topredict the exact locations of future jumps However similarto the forecasting of earthquake we can forecast theprobability of the future jumprsquos arrivals within a time periodSuch kind of forecasting can be implemented by simulatingthe bivariate Hawkes process with the estimated intensityfunction repeatedly and then calculate the frequency of thearrivals within a given time interval en we can calculatethe frequencies of the arrivals within different time periodsand finally get the empirical distribution of times for futurejump arrivals For instance we can obtain the empiricaldistribution of days within which the next jump occurs or

the next two jumps and other situations occur Hence withthe estimated results in Section 31 we simulate 2000 pathsof our model over the next month after December 31 2013

ie January in 2014 We choose the following one month asthe time interval of the simulation and prediction becausethis time period is long enough for the future occurrences of

From Table 4 we can obtain that for the SH compositeindex the frequency that the next negative extreme jumpoccurs within one day after December 31 2013 is 03790within two days 06195 (sum of the frequencies of the firsttwo days) and within three days 07545 (sum of thefrequencies of the first three days) As for the SZ com-ponent index the corresponding frequencies are 0374006060 and 07550 respectively In summary our pre-diction results show that in both stock markets the fre-quency that the next negative extreme jump occurs withinthree days is above 075 which implies that the next jumpoccurs within following three days with a relatively largeprobability

To check the performance of our prediction we use theintraday five-minute high frequency data from January 22014 to January 31 2014 and separate the negative extremejumps for the two indexes to make a comparison with ourprediction results We find that in the Shanghai stockmarket the first jump occurs at 10 10 am on January 2 andin the Shenzhen stock market the first jump occurs at 09 35am on January 3 Overall the arrivals of the first jump areobserved within two days for the two stock markets whichverifies our above prediction

In order to make the idea of the prediction more clearwe proceed to report the frequency tables and histograms ofthe second extreme jump occurrence on following days forthe SH composite index and SZ component index in Table 5and Figure 6 respectively

From the results in Table 5 we can obtain that thefrequencies that first two jumps occur in the SH compositeindex within 3 days and within 6 days are 04415 and 0791respectively And the frequencies that first two jumps occurin the SZ component index within 3 days and within 6 daysare 0444 and 0798 respectively From the results ofidentified jumps with real data we find that the second jumpoccurs at 9 35 am on Januray 3 and 10 00 am on January3 respectively for the SH composite index and SZ com-ponent index which means that the arrivals of the next twojumps are observed within two days for the two indexes eresults are compatible with our prediction

Next we adopt the procedure described above repeatedlyand use the rolling window method to make prediction overthe months from February to December in 2014 e per-formances of total 11 predictions with rolling window arereported in Table 6 for the SH composite index and inTable 7 for the SZ component index In both tables wereport the frequencies of the first jump occurring within 3days and 7 days over the forecasting interval and theidentified dates and times of the first extreme jump oc-currence by using the actual data for comparison FromTables 6 and 7 we can see that for all the rolling windowpredictions the frequencies of the first extreme jump oc-currence in 3 days are around 75 a relatively largeprobability and the frequencies in 7 days are around 97 avery high probability Furthermore the jump arrivals withrelatively large probability in every rolling window

4 Conclusions

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process

3 Empirical Analysis

31 Estimation of Mutually Exciting Jump Tail ContagionModel We collect the tick-by-tick transaction data of theShanghai (SH) composite index in the Shanghai stockmarket and Shenzhen (SZ) component index in Shenzhenstock market from the Chinese RESSET high-frequencydatabasee sample starts on January 4 2006 and ends onDecember 31 2013 ere are totally 1932 valid tradingdays after excluding the holidays and the trading days withsuccessive missing values over intervals with length of tenminutes or above en we sample the tick-by-tick data atfive-minute frequency by assigning the last observation ineach five-minute interval as the price at five-minute fre-quency Finally we calculate the five-minute log-returnswith five-minute prices for these two indexese followinganalysis is carried out by using these five-minute returndata

Firstly we extract the jump components from the five-minute returns by using the threshold method proposed inSection 21 Also we are interested in the negative jumpsen we use the mean excess function to find an appro-priate threshold which can make the jump tails subject tothe generalized Pareto distribution Figure 1 shows themean excess functions of the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively From the figure we canobtain that both mean excess functions tend to be positivelylinear when the threshold is over 03 erefore we select03 as the threshold with which we can identify the extremejumps and obtain the excesses of extreme jumps for the twoindexes

Table 1 reports some summary statistics about the ex-treme jumps over threshold identified in the SH compositeindex and SZ component index respectively

With the identified extreme jump times and their marksie magnitudes of the excesses of extreme jumps for thesetwo indexes we next estimate the bivariate mutually excitingjump contagion model by the maximum likelihood esti-mation method Table 2 reports the estimation results of twogeneralized Pareto distributions

Figure 2 gives the QQ-plots of two fitted generalizedPareto distributions for the SH composite index and SZcomponent index respectively which show that the negativejump tails of both indexes are well fitted by the generalizedPareto distribution

Table 3 reports the estimation results of parameters inthe conditional ground intensity of Hawkes process

Moreover we use the bootstrap method to obtain thestandard errors of parameter estimation by Monte Carlosimulation In particular we first simulate 1000 paths of thebivariate Hawkes process with the estimated values ofparameters and then run the parameter estimation pro-cedure with these 1000 bootstrap samples to get 1000 es-timates of the parameters en we can compute thestandard error of each parameter with these 1000 estimatedvalues From the results of intensity process in the Shanghaistock market we can see that only background intensity issignificant which shows that there are no significant self-exciting and mutually exciting effects in the Shanghai stockmarket

However from the results of the Shenzhen stock marketwe can see that λ2 δ21 and η21 are significant at 5 level andθ21 is significant at 10 level which shows that the jumpintensity in the Shenzhen stock market are mainly affectedby the background factors and jumps occurred in theShanghai stock market as well Both the locations and sizesof jumps occurred in the Shanghai stock market have sig-nificant stimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhenstock market ese results can be attributed to the differentcharacteristics of the two stock markets e Shanghai stockmarket mainly consists of large-cap stocks such as financialstocks or blue chips and the companies listed in Shanghaistock exchange are often the leading enterprises in their ownindustry while the main components of the Shenzhen stockmarket are medium and small-cap stocks and growth en-terprises market board erefore the performance ofShenzhen component index tends to follow the changes inthe Shanghai composite index

With the estimation results the simulated paths of theconditional ground intensities for the two indexes are givenin Figure 3 e figure shows that the intensity of the SZcomponent index is more volatile than the SH compositeindex since there exists cross-exciting effect in the Shenzhenstock market apart from the influence of common factorsFigure 4 presents the QQ-plots of two fitted Hawkes processfor the SH composite index and SZ component index re-spectively From the figure it can be easily seen that thesample quantiles and the theoretical quantiles of exponentialdistribution almost lie in a line which indicates that theobservations are well fitted by the model

32 Prediction Here we consider the problem of predictingthe future jump events out of sample Since our model isbased on Hawkes point process it is impossible to use it topredict the exact locations of future jumps However similarto the forecasting of earthquake we can forecast theprobability of the future jumprsquos arrivals within a time periodSuch kind of forecasting can be implemented by simulatingthe bivariate Hawkes process with the estimated intensityfunction repeatedly and then calculate the frequency of thearrivals within a given time interval en we can calculatethe frequencies of the arrivals within different time periodsand finally get the empirical distribution of times for futurejump arrivals For instance we can obtain the empiricaldistribution of days within which the next jump occurs or

ie January in 2014 We choose the following one month asthe time interval of the simulation and prediction becausethis time period is long enough for the future occurrences of

From Table 4 we can obtain that for the SH compositeindex the frequency that the next negative extreme jumpoccurs within one day after December 31 2013 is 03790within two days 06195 (sum of the frequencies of the firsttwo days) and within three days 07545 (sum of thefrequencies of the first three days) As for the SZ com-ponent index the corresponding frequencies are 0374006060 and 07550 respectively In summary our pre-diction results show that in both stock markets the fre-quency that the next negative extreme jump occurs withinthree days is above 075 which implies that the next jumpoccurs within following three days with a relatively largeprobability

To check the performance of our prediction we use theintraday five-minute high frequency data from January 22014 to January 31 2014 and separate the negative extremejumps for the two indexes to make a comparison with ourprediction results We find that in the Shanghai stockmarket the first jump occurs at 10 10 am on January 2 andin the Shenzhen stock market the first jump occurs at 09 35am on January 3 Overall the arrivals of the first jump areobserved within two days for the two stock markets whichverifies our above prediction

In order to make the idea of the prediction more clearwe proceed to report the frequency tables and histograms ofthe second extreme jump occurrence on following days forthe SH composite index and SZ component index in Table 5and Figure 6 respectively

From the results in Table 5 we can obtain that thefrequencies that first two jumps occur in the SH compositeindex within 3 days and within 6 days are 04415 and 0791respectively And the frequencies that first two jumps occurin the SZ component index within 3 days and within 6 daysare 0444 and 0798 respectively From the results ofidentified jumps with real data we find that the second jumpoccurs at 9 35 am on Januray 3 and 10 00 am on January3 respectively for the SH composite index and SZ com-ponent index which means that the arrivals of the next twojumps are observed within two days for the two indexes eresults are compatible with our prediction

Next we adopt the procedure described above repeatedlyand use the rolling window method to make prediction overthe months from February to December in 2014 e per-formances of total 11 predictions with rolling window arereported in Table 6 for the SH composite index and inTable 7 for the SZ component index In both tables wereport the frequencies of the first jump occurring within 3days and 7 days over the forecasting interval and theidentified dates and times of the first extreme jump oc-currence by using the actual data for comparison FromTables 6 and 7 we can see that for all the rolling windowpredictions the frequencies of the first extreme jump oc-currence in 3 days are around 75 a relatively largeprobability and the frequencies in 7 days are around 97 avery high probability Furthermore the jump arrivals withrelatively large probability in every rolling window

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process

we take into account the effects of both occurrence time andexcess jump magnitude We then discuss the maximumlikelihood estimation and the goodness of fit of the modelFinally we apply the proposed method to the real high fre-quency data in the Chinese stock market We first separate thenegative jump series from the five-minute high frequency dataof the Shanghai composite index and Shenzhen componentindex which are the two main market indexes in China andthen apply the proposed bivariate mutually exciting jumpcontagion model to the identified jump series e empiricalresults show that mutually exciting feature is significant in theShenzhen stock market while both self-exciting and mutuallyexciting features are not significant in the Shanghai stockmarket In particular the intensity of extreme jump occurrencein the Shanghai stock market is only significantly affected bythe background factors while the intensity in the Shenzhenstock market is significantly affected by the background factorsand the extreme jump events in the Shanghai stock market aswell Both the occurrence times and magnitudes of jumpsoccurred in the Shanghai stock market have significantstimulations to the extreme jumps in the Shenzhen stockmarket Furthermore the prediction results of the future jumpevents based on simulation demonstrate our modelrsquos power

From Table 4 we can obtain that for the SH compositeindex the frequency that the next negative extreme jumpoccurs within one day after December 31 2013 is 03790within two days 06195 (sum of the frequencies of the firsttwo days) and within three days 07545 (sum of thefrequencies of the first three days) As for the SZ com-ponent index the corresponding frequencies are 0374006060 and 07550 respectively In summary our pre-diction results show that in both stock markets the fre-quency that the next negative extreme jump occurs withinthree days is above 075 which implies that the next jumpoccurs within following three days with a relatively largeprobability

To check the performance of our prediction we use theintraday five-minute high frequency data from January 22014 to January 31 2014 and separate the negative extremejumps for the two indexes to make a comparison with ourprediction results We find that in the Shanghai stockmarket the first jump occurs at 10 10 am on January 2 andin the Shenzhen stock market the first jump occurs at 09 35am on January 3 Overall the arrivals of the first jump areobserved within two days for the two stock markets whichverifies our above prediction

In order to make the idea of the prediction more clearwe proceed to report the frequency tables and histograms ofthe second extreme jump occurrence on following days forthe SH composite index and SZ component index in Table 5and Figure 6 respectively

From the results in Table 5 we can obtain that thefrequencies that first two jumps occur in the SH compositeindex within 3 days and within 6 days are 04415 and 0791respectively And the frequencies that first two jumps occurin the SZ component index within 3 days and within 6 daysare 0444 and 0798 respectively From the results ofidentified jumps with real data we find that the second jumpoccurs at 9 35 am on Januray 3 and 10 00 am on January3 respectively for the SH composite index and SZ com-ponent index which means that the arrivals of the next twojumps are observed within two days for the two indexes eresults are compatible with our prediction

Next we adopt the procedure described above repeatedlyand use the rolling window method to make prediction overthe months from February to December in 2014 e per-formances of total 11 predictions with rolling window arereported in Table 6 for the SH composite index and inTable 7 for the SZ component index In both tables wereport the frequencies of the first jump occurring within 3days and 7 days over the forecasting interval and theidentified dates and times of the first extreme jump oc-currence by using the actual data for comparison FromTables 6 and 7 we can see that for all the rolling windowpredictions the frequencies of the first extreme jump oc-currence in 3 days are around 75 a relatively largeprobability and the frequencies in 7 days are around 97 avery high probability Furthermore the jump arrivals withrelatively large probability in every rolling window

4 Conclusions

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process

prediction are almost observed In particular the next jumpoccurs within 3 days over prediction window for all thepredictions except that in the sixth rolling prediction thenext jump for the SZ component index occurs in next 7 daysin the seventh rolling prediction the next jump for the SHcomposite index occurs in next 4 days and in the eighthrolling prediction the next jumps for both indexes occurs innext 6 days e results further demonstrate our modelrsquospower

4 Conclusions

In this paper we focus on modeling the contagion feature ofthe intraday jump tail with financial high frequency data Weuse a two-stage method that first extracts the intraday jumpnonparametrically with high frequency data and then con-structs the mutually exciting jump tail contagion model basedon Hawkes process and peaks-over-threshold approach In themodeling of the conditional intensity of the Hawkes process
