This book provides a methodological framework to model univariate and multivariate irregularly spaced financial data. It gives a thorough review of recent developments in the econometric literature, puts forward existing approaches and opens up new directions. The book presents alternative ways to model so-called financial point processes using dynamic duration as well as intensity models and discusses their ability to account for specific features of point process data, like the occurrence of time-varying covariates, censoring mechanisms and multivariate structures.
