  • Empirical Inference of Related Trading Between Two Securities: Detecting Pairs Trading, Merger Arbitrage, and Strategy Rules*
    Empirical inference of related trading between two securities: Detecting pairs trading, merger arbitrage, and strategy rules* Keith Godfrey The University of Western Australia Working paper: 5 September 2013 The traditional approach to studying pairs trading is to simulate profitability using ex-post historical prices. I study the actual trades reported anonymously in security pairs and build statistical inferences of related trading. The approach is based on the time differences between trades. It can distinguish intrinsically related securities from pseudo-random sets, find stocks involved in merger arbitrage in massive sets of paired index constituents, and infer dominant trading rules of mean reversion algorithms. Empirical inference of related trading can enable further studies into pairs trading, strategy rules, merger arbitrage, and insider trading. Keywords: Inferred trading, empirical inference, pairs trading, merger arbitrage. JEL Classification Codes: G00, G10, C10, C40, C60 The availability of intraday trading or “tick” data with time resolution of a millisecond or finer is opening many avenues of research into financial markets. Analysis of two or more streams of tick data concurrently is becoming increasingly important in the study of multiple-security trading including index tracking, pairs trading, merger arbitrage, and market-neutral strategies. One of the greatest challenges in empirical trading research is the anonymity of reported trades. Securities exchanges report the dates, times, prices, and volumes traded, without identifying the traders. In studies of a single security, this introduces uncertainty of whether each market order that caused a trade was the buy or sell order, and there are documented approaches of inference such as Lee and Ready (1991).

    8 Colombia 8.1 Summary of Coal Industry 8.1.1 ROLE OF COAL IN COLOMBIA Coal accounted for eight percent of Colombia’s energy consumption in 2007 and one-fourth of total exports in terms of revenue in 2009 (EIA, 2010a). As the world’s tenth largest producer and fourth largest exporter of coal (World Coal, 2012; Reuters, 2014), Colombia provides 6.9 percent of the world’s coal exports (EIA, 2010b). It exports 97 percent of its domestically produced coal, primarily to the United States, the European Union, and Latin America (EIA, 2010a). Colombia had 6,746 million tonnes (Mmt) of proven recoverable coal reserves in 2013, consisting mainly of high-quality bituminous coal and a small amount of metallurgical coal (Table 8-1). The country has the second largest coal reserves in South America, behind Brazil, with most of those reserves concentrated in the Guajira peninsula in the north (on the country’s Caribbean coast) and the Andean foothills (EIA, 2010a). Its reserves of high-quality bituminous coal are the largest in Latin America (BP, 2014). Table 8-1.

We have analysed audited data on the 100 largest media and entertainment companies in the UK. Collectively they generate £87bn in annual revenue. We project they will break the £100bn level within the next five years. This is a transformative period for the media and entertainment industry. In a year when the fundamental purpose of the BBC was challenged, when physical book sales in the UK actually rose against expectations, when the Independent became the first national newspaper to move completely online, and when half of the world’s top 10 ten best-selling music artists were from the UK, we can see waves of change washing over many different media and entertainment sectors.
