Abstract:Based on the realized volatility measurement,we investigate the jumps of stock price in the Chinese stock markets using Z-statistics by BN-S approach. The results show the ubiquity of jumps of stock price in the stock markets. Further more,we find that the jumps of individual stocks are mostly heterogeneous jumps rather than co-jumps which can be seen at the level of the stock index. These results indicate that the jumps of individual stocks tend to be influenced by stock-specific news while the influences generated by market-level news are very limited. Co-jumps of individual stocks are likely to be covered by heterogeneous jumps and market microstructure noise.
