Abstract
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>Joint densities for a sequential pair of returns with weak autocorrelation and strong correlation in squared returns are formulated. The marginal return densities are either variance gamma or bilateral gamma. Two-dimensional matching of empirical characteristic functions to its theoretical counterpart is employed for dependency parameter estimation. Estimations are reported for 3920 daily return sequences of one thousand days. Path simulation is done using conditional distribution functions. The paths display levels of squared return correlation and decay rates for the squared return autocorrelation function that are comparable to these magnitudes in daily return data. Regressions of log characteristic functions at different time points are used to estimate time scaling coefficients. Regressions of these time scaling coefficients on squared return correlations support the view that autocorrelation in squared returns slows the rate of passage of economic time. An analysis of financial markets for 2020 in comparison with 2019 displays a post-COVID slowdown in financial markets.</p>
