This work aims to investigate the (inter)relations of information arrival, news sentiment, volatility and jump dynamics of intraday returns. Two parametric GARCHtype jump models which explicitly incorporate both news arrival and news sentiment variables are proposed, among which one assumes news...

This paper examines the effect of foreign exchange news announcements on the volatility of stock returns in Nigeria, using the daily closing All-Share Index from The Nigerian Stock Exchange from 2000 to 2015. We extended existing literature by augmenting the EGARCH econometric model with...

We investigated the behaviour of returns of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange All Share Index using asymmetrical exponential-GARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) incorporating the market reactions to news. We noted the returns distribution is skewed and have fat-tails with respect to the normal...

The primary objective of the study is to examine the impact of political news (good and bad news) on the returns and volatility of Borsa Istanbul 100 Index (BIST-100). Sample data cover the period from January 2008 to December 2017. The main sample was divided into two subperiods to insulate the...

We propose a novel multivariate GARCH model that incorporates realized measures for the variance matrix of returns. The key novelty is the joint formulation of a multivariate dynamic model for outer-products of returns, realized variances and realized covariances. The updating of the variance...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamic response of stock market volatility to changes in monetary policy. Using a vector autoregressive model, our findings reveal a significant and asymmetric response of stock returns and volatility to monetary policy shocks. Although the increase in the...

The paper considers the return and range model with dynamic conditional correlations (DCC). The paper suggests the new speci cations for the asymmetric effects on log-volatilities and dynamic correlations, combined with long-run dependences. The new DCC model can be estimated by the...

We investigate the behavior of daily aggregate U.S. CDS spreads during almost six years. Existing linkages between credit and equity markets advocate the use of market price and volatility channels as explanatory factors. In particular, the evolution of CDS spreads is analyzed along with the...

This paper investigates the dynamic linkages in terms of the first and second moments between stock and bond returns, within a wide range of advanced economies, over the different phases of the recent financial crisis. The adopted empirical framework is a bivariate volatility model, where...
