This study utilized the cross-sectional independence test established by Pesaran (2004) to identify the existence of common factors in stock markets functioning in Chinese regions. The volatility spillover test of Hafner and Herwartz (2006) based on the Lagrange multiplier (LM) principle was...

This paper examines the information transmission between stocks and their corresponding deposit receipts (DRs) by collecting samples with good reputations and high liquidity in both markets. Using eight years of daily panel data from six cross-listed Taiwanese firms, our results show the...

We empirically investigate the determinants of sovereign bond spreads in the euro area since the beginning of the crisis. We combine economic but also political uncertainty variables for three different groups of countries. We took into account an institutional shift in the spring 2010. Before...

We find evidence of weak informational efficiency in the Brazilian daily foreign exchange market using Hurst exponents (Hurst 1951, 1955, Feder 1988), which offer an alternative (from statistical physics) to traditional econometric gauges. We show that a trend toward efficiency has been reverted...

Utilizing multivariate GARCH framework, this study finds that generally the US Information Technology (IT) market contributes a strong volatility rather than mean spillover effect to non-US IT markets, implying that the US IT market plays a dominant role in affecting the volatility of world IT...

This paper examines the conditional volatility and return linkages for the equity markets of Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Oman over the period 2005-2012. To this end, we employ a multivariate model with time varying conditional...

We re-examine the relationship between exchange rates and order flow as proposed by Evans and Lyons (2002). Compared to their linear specification, we find that the response of exchange rates to order flow may depend on market historical volatility. If market historical volatility is high, a...

In this paper, two different stability tests in linear frameworks are used to examine the presence of structural changes in the GARCH-based conditional volatility of emerging market countries. We particularly relate this issue to the market liberalization reforms undertaken by these countries...
