Based on a new approach for measuring the comovements between stock market returns, we provide a nonparametric test for asymmetric comovements in the sense that stock market downturns will lead to stronger comovements than market upturns. The test is used to detect whether asymmetric comovements...

In this paper, we use methods from social network analysis to assess the relative importance of financial centers around the world. Using data from virtually the entire universe of global equity activity, we present two sets of complete rankings for up to forty-five separate locations for the...

This paper focuses on evidence on securitized real estate markets as it investigates the volatility spillovers and correlation dynamics among the three real estate securities markets: China, Hong Kong and Taiwan in Greater China (GC) as well as their international linkages with the US...

In this paper we examine the interactions between the U.S. stock market and the Chinese stock market in the scope of market microstructure. In particular, first time in the literature, we examine the forecasting ability of the stock performance in one market to predict the direction of the stock...

Besides the positively biased rating structure and procyclical nature of analysts' stock recommendations we observe that within the global universe stock recommendations and stock performance are largely uncorrelated. Nevertheless, investors are able to benefit from sell side stock...

Does informed trading affect emerging stock markets? Market microstructure literature establishes that information asymmetry reduces liquidity and moves prices in the direction of the trade. We test for this theoretical implication by running the dynamic PIN model of Easley, Engle, O'Hara y Wu...

This research examines time-varying real estate-stock conditional correlation dynamics at the local, regional, and global levels as well as the general co-movements among the three types of correlations and their relative (real estate/stock) volatilities for a sample of eight Asian and two...
