Abstract
This paper examines the dynamics of trade durations during financial crisis.
Using break tests, we establish that an Autoregressive Conditional Duration
model for electronic futures contracts on the S&P500 index displays significant
parameter changes during the period 2006-2008. Some of the identified break
points can be aligned with documented crisis events. Subperiod parameter
estimates show that, at critical points in the crisis, observed duration becomes
less clustered and more dependent on expected duration. During the crisis
period, the impact of trade volume on duration weakens, and the error
distribution moves closer to an exponential, consistent with duration
homogeneity.
