Investigate market jumps & mergers in Media/Telecomm industry using Realized Quarticity Analysis. Study industry events & robust measures. Explore M&A impact on Verizon, Disney, AT&T & S&P 500. Utilize Tri-Power Max Statistic. Analysis shows no significant relation between announcements & variance, attributing to market predictability. Introduce Quantile-Based Realized Variance for efficient noise & jump handling.

Introduction • Investigate Media/Telecomm Industry • Verizon Telecommunications (VZ) • AT&T Inc. (T) • Walt Disney Inc. (DIS) • Data taken from 1/2/2001 to 12/29/2006 • 5 min interval (78 observations per day) • Over ~100K total observations • Qualitative findings linking clusters of jumps to industry events / macroeconomic shocks
Mathematical Background • Realized Variation (IV with jump contribution) • Bipower Variation (robust to jumps)
Mathematical Background • Tri-Power Quarticity • Z Tri-Power Max Statistic • Significance Value .999 z > 3.09
Mathematical Background • Previous equations used to estimate integrated quarticity • Relative Jump (measure of jump contribution to total price variance)
Verizon Communications (VZ)5 min Price Data High: 57.40 • 7/19/2001 Low: 26.16 • 7/24/2002
Verizon Communications (VZ)Z-tp Max Statistic Max: 7.3393 • 8/24/2004 Explanation? • Won civil case against text message spammer • Acquisition of MCI 6 months later
Walt Disney Inc. (DIS)5 min Price Data High: 34.88 • 12/19/2006 Low: 13.15 • 8/8/2002
Walt Disney Inc. (DIS)Z-tp Max Statistic Max: 5.4364 • 5/11/2005 Explanation? • Launch of 50 year celebration at theme parks • Released positive earning statements from film/DVD earnings
AT&T (T)5 min Price Data High: 43.95 • 7/12/2001 Low: 13.50 • 4/16/2003
AT&T (T)Z-tp Max Statistic Max: 7.6598 • 9/23/2003 Explanation? • Rumors of merger with BellSouth • Acquires assets from MCI-WorldCom bankruptcy
S&P 5005 min Price Data High: 1443.7 • 12/15/2006 Low: 768 • 10/10/2002
S&P 500Z-tp Max Statistic Max: 11.533 • 11/23/2006 Explanation? • Index reaches 6-year high • USD falls to 5-month low against Euro
Summary Statistics Tri-power Quarticity and Max Statistic Significance Level .999 z = 3.09
Investigation of Mergers & Acquisitions • Created binary variable for days marking announced merger or acquisition • Data taken from Factiva, corporate Annual Reports • Only consider M&A deals within data range 1/2/2001 to 12/29/2006 when first announced by company • Does not include divestures, sale of assets, or strategic alliances not involving trade of common stock
Results - Disney R = -0.0289 R = -0.0341 R = 0.0193
Results - Verizon R = -0.0196 R = -0.0184 R = -0.0189
Results • No statistically significant relationship between announcement of acquisition and realized variance • Intuition: Deals within the M&T industry are so large and predictable, that variance may be smoothened by expectations • Caveat: Diverse classification of deals makes comparisons between deals and across companies difficult • Additional caveat: Unlike announcements on overall economic data from centralized source, rumors of mergers spread amongst business forums and communities, therefore the “initial” date of information release is difficult to determine
Quantile-Based Realized Variance • Introduced in Christensen, Oomen, Podolskij (2008) • Simultaneously robust to noise and jumps • Effectively ignores fraction of largest/smallest return observations • Like RV and BV, consistent estimator of IV
Quantile-Based Realized Variance • Divides set of observations into subintervals, and truncates λ quantile • Levels of m, λ optimized to maximize efficiency of estimator • If constructed with multiple quartiles, can be more efficient than BPV and close to RV while maintaining robustness to jumps • Calculate squared λ-quantile, sum for whole day, and scale to find QRV • Performs well in “clean” and “noisy” high frequency data over short horizons compared to RV N = total obs in one day n bins of m obs
QRV Problems • Possible problem with indexing over so many sub intervals • Scaling constant based on number of observations per subinterval Average Daily QRV for Disney = 467.99 “ “ RV for Disney = .00032665 “ “ BV for Disney = .00030651
Conclusion • Research track investigating effect of mergers and acquisitions within M&T market interesting, but too many confounding variables for accurate research • Implement QRV test on M&T and other stocks and compare with RV, BV
