Abstract
A new approach for modeling lead-lag relationships in high frequency financial markets is proposed. The model is accommodated to non-synchronous trading and market microstructure noise as well as intraday variations of lead-lag relationships, which are essential for empirical applications. A simple statistical methodology for analyzing the proposed model is presented as well. The methodology is illustrated by an empirical study to detect lead-lag relationships between the S&P 500 index and its two derivative products.
