  2. Objective • waiting time distribution (WTD) for the Irish stock market 1850 to 1854. • 10 stocks out of a database of 60 are examined. • waiting time distributionsvary from a day to some months are • compare with WTD for Japanese yen currency returns 1989-1998 • waiting times vary from a minute to over an hour

  3. 19th century Irish Stock Exchange • Deals done 'matched bargain basis' • members of exchangebring buyers and sellers together • Essentially same as today • Today, many more buyers and sellers. • Recent studies of 19th century markets find they were well integrated • Dublin traded international shares • Not solely a regional market. • World trends reflected in the Irish market • No exchange controls. • From 1801 to 1922 Ireland was part of UK • Largest shares: Banks and key railways – • Quality investments for UK investors • Also traded in London.

  8. Results: Irish Stock Market data

  9. Results: Yen Currency Market data

  10. Conclusions: • Irish data, • outside the cut off regime, survival time distribution exhibits two clear regions • can be well fitted by Mittag Leffler function • power law tail has exponent of magnitude less than unity (~ 0.4) • Japanese yen • short waiting times (1 to 30 minutes) fits power law over large range • but exponent greater than unity (~ 1.9) • larger values of time shows a smaller power law regime having an exponent between 0.9 and 1.1 that is • at the border of the regime that can be fitted with a Mittag Leffler function. • for larger waiting times, data exhibit two ‘humps’. • The characteristic time could be associated with opening and closing of the major global trading centres.
