Micro-founded dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models appear to be particularly suited for evaluating the consequences of alternative macroeconomic policies. Recently, increasing efforts have been undertaken by policymakers to use these models for forecasting, although this proved...

As both speculative and hedging financial flows into commodity futures are expected to link commodity price formation more strongly to equity indices, we investigate whether these processes also create increased correlation amongst the commodities themselves. Considering U.S. oil and gas...

This paper employs a conditional version of the International Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) to investigate the determinants of regional integration of stock markets in the Latin America over the period 1996-2008. This model allows for three sources of time-varying risks: common regional...

This paper evaluates the time-varying integration of the Singapore stock market in the ASEAN-5 region based on

This paper tests the time-varying degree of South Asian market integration using a conditional version of the International Capital Asset Pricing Model ICAPM, and applying a GDC-GARCH. The use of the GDC-GARCH technique allows us to, first, describe the timevarying stochastic conditional...

This paper analyzes the time-varying integration of the Greek stock market from a regional

Over recent years, several emerging market regions have actively taken part in globalisation movements and world market integration. However, the financial integration processes appear to vary over time, and differ considerably from one region to another. This paper investigates intraregional...

This paper attempts to evaluate the time-varying integration of emerging markets from a regional perspective, by using a conditional version of the international capital asset pricing model (ICAPM) allowing for dynamic changes in the degree of market integration, global market risk premium,...
