Entries are GLM estimates—us<strong>in</strong>g the exponential distribution—(top part <strong>of</strong> the table) and ML<br />
estimates—us<strong>in</strong>g a generalized gamma distribution—(bottom part) for the Log-ACD. Numbers<br />
<strong>in</strong> brackets are heteroskedastic-consistent standard errors.<br />
exponential density cannot fit the empirical density, which implies <strong>in</strong>efficient estimates<br />
with respect to the ML ones. Second, the estimated parameters under BiSp and UniSp<br />
are very similar, confirm<strong>in</strong>g the results shown <strong>in</strong> Engle and Russell (1998, p 1137), who<br />
do not f<strong>in</strong>d very different results for BiSp and UniSp. By contrast, there are substantial<br />
differences between the NW (UniNW and BiNW) and the Sp (UniSp and BiSp) groups,<br />
mean<strong>in</strong>g that the parameters and the nonparametric curve are not orthogonal when estimat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
with kernels. Third, volume durations estimates have, <strong>in</strong> general, smaller �α and<br />
bigger �β than price durations estimates. This is due to the persistence (see Spearman’s<br />
ρ <strong>in</strong> Fig. 5) and the underdispersion <strong>of</strong> volume durations. Note that the constant <strong>of</strong> the<br />
dynamic component is not present <strong>in</strong> UniNW as it is replaced by the seasonal curve.<br />
As for the nonparametric curves (see Fig. 6), results <strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> smoothness are rather<br />
different for UniSp and UniNW. UniSp curves are sharper with small humps and, for<br />
volume durations, we also observe a rough <strong>in</strong>crease (decrease) at the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g (end) <strong>of</strong><br />
the day. This f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g can be expla<strong>in</strong>ed by the fact that UniNW provides a data-driven<br />
method to compute the bandwidth, whereas the UniSp does not (location and number <strong>of</strong>
