Regarding the asymmetric and leptokurtic behavior of financial data, we propose a new contagion test in the quantile regression framework that is robust to model misspecification. Unlike conventional correlation-based tests, the proposed quantile contagion test allows us to investigate the stock...

This research proves that the movement of Stock Market Index (JSX) in Indonesia does not follow random walk. Therefore, certain variables in financial market influence the movement of JSX. VECM and ECM testings show that regional index in ASEAN countries and Hongkong as well as exchange rate...

There exists abundant academic literature showing that momentum, i.e. a positive correlation between initial ranking of stocks by their past returns and subsequent returns, is pervasive across different markets and time periods.Although recent criticism speculates on the disappearing of momentum...

We develop a new method to estimate private equity funds' market beta from cash flows. Our methodology extends the widely known public market equivalent calculation to a cross-sectional regression. By simply regressing funds' internal rates of return on their paired market internal rates of...

We model the complex global dependencies in international financial markets using spatial techniques. Our methodology allows us to go beyond conventional correlation analyses and volatility-spillover models confined to studying pairwise relationships, and improves the accuracy of return...

Unlike conventional correlation-based tests, the proposed quantile contagion test allows us to investigate the stock...

This study explores whether conditional correlations between precious metals and stock markets impact upon expected returns on precious metals. The empirical evidence presents that there is no significant trade–off between conditional correlations and expected returns. This study reveals that...

The relation between idiosyncratic risk and stock returns is currently a topic of debate in the academic literature. So far the evidence regarding the relation is mixed. This study aims to investigate the cross-sectional relation between idiosyncratic risk and stock returns in the Indian stock...

This paper investigates the impact of regional factors on Islamic and conventional stock returns in the member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) from April 2011 to April 2021. This paper employs the quantile regression method to determine the effect of regional factors on GCC...
