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 constructs a robust optimization framework of the uncertain worst-case return. The model defines an adjustable discrete uncertainty set which controls the conservatism of the optimal asset allocation. Without prior assumptions on the data generating process, the model also develops an...

The aim of this paper is to study the degree of interdependence between oil price and stock market index into two groups of countries: oil-importer countries and exporter ones. To this end, we propose a new empirical methodology allowing a time-varying dynamic correlation measure between the...

In this paper, we consider the models that provide evidence of volatility transmission between oil and equity markets. Our aim is to complement previous research by addressing the dynamics of volatility transmission by using the multivariate dynamic conditional correlation–GARCH (DCC-GARCH)...
