Abstract: 
In this paper we construct a "reflexivity" index for Bitcoin crypto currency that measures the amount of activity generated endogenously within the market. For this purpose we fit a univariate self-exciting Hawkes process with two-classes of parametric kernels to high-frequency trade data that allows for a parsimonious representation of endogenous-exogenous dynamics.
