Time reversibility tests of volume–volatility dynamics for stock returns

Non-parametric tests based on the concept of time reversibility in statistical mechanics are applied to assess the dynamic implications of the mixture-of-distributions hypothesis (MDH). The tests show that shocks to volume and volatility are dynamically asymmetric, thus rejecting the one-factor MDH.
