According to theory, financial openness (FO) increases growth. The literature often conditions the growth effect of FO on favorable collateral environment. However, this can conceal the actual growth benefits of FO. This paper contributes to the literature by investigating the unconditional...

This paper examines the direction and extent of the asymmetric volatility connectedness among international equity markets using 5-minute interval data from 16 stock markets. We analyze asymmetric volatility connectedness using realized volatility and identify the magnitude of the volatility...

Current data provide macroeconomic information for a large number of countries and for a long period of time (macro panels). This causes that in these panels slope heterogeneity and crosssection dependence (CSD) are a rule rather than the exception, leading to fixed effects slope estimators to...

This paper investigates various aspects of asymmetric connectedness among the stock markets in China, Japan, and Korea. Based on the realized semi-volatility indices, we find that the impact of bad volatility strictly dominates good volatility in generating transmission across the Northeast...

We build a parsimonious agent-based model under the adaptive market hypothesis (AMH), which can explain the formation of equilibrium prices and market efficiency dynamics. Our model combines heterogeneous interacting agents, switching behavior, and investor feedback on past realized returns,...

Momentum, size, and low volatility in emerging markets regularly exhibit increased correlations across factors and markets in periods of negative returns. I provide a framework to distinguish a unique source of risk from a set of factors in the stage of portfolio formation. The framework is...

This study investigates the time-varying frequency of spillovers between European stock markets and oil during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. Using the spillover index by Diebold & Yilmaz, 2012 and Baruník & Křehlík, 2018, we analyze high-frequency data at a 5-min interval...

Using the panel-data approach with a sample of emerging countries, this study examines the relationship between exchange-rate movements from 2011 to 2022, on the one hand, and sovereign debt credit default swap (CDS) premiums and market volatility, on the other. To capture the short- and...

This paper examines the relationship between idiosyncratic risk and stock returns in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries by applying parametric and nonparametric approaches. It also explores the idiosyncratic risk puzzle by dividing firms into groups based on...
