This study is motivated by the theoretical and empirical argument that assert an important association between religion and stock price crash risk (Kennedy and Lawton, 1998; Carter, McCullough and Carver, 2012; Jin and Myers, 2006; Callen and Fang, 2016; Li and Cai; 2018). We study the impact of religion, as...

This paper traces the origin and development of the complex systems theory over the course of history, up to its latest advancement in the study of stock market crashes. The trail of the theory's fuzzy evolution is expansive that covers the ground of the complexity epistemology, natural science...

We characterize asset return linkages during periods of stress by an extremal dependence measure. Contrary to correlation analysis, this nonparametric measure is not predisposed toward the normal distribution and can allow for nonlinear relationships. Our estimates for the G-5 countries suggest...

Using a generalized vector autoregressive framework in which forecast-error variance decompositions are invariant to variable ordering, we propose measures of both total and directional volatility spillovers. We use our methods to characterize daily volatility spillovers across U.S. stock, bond,...

We investigate the relation between the risk premia observed in forward foreign exchange markets and international equity markets using the Arbitrage Pricing Theory. If returns on well-diversified equity portfolios explain movements in agents' intertemporal marginal rate of substitution then the...

This study investigates the spillover effect of price returns and volatility between ADRs and their underlying Korean stocks, employing a Granger causality test and a bivariate GARCH model. First, the empirical results of Granger causality test suggest bi-directional transmission of price...

We compare the performance of Islamic and conventional stock returns in Saudi Arabia in order to determine whether the Saudi market exhibits characteristics that are consistent with segmented markets and investor recognition effects. We sample the daily stock returns of all Saudi firms from...

The low beta anomaly is well documented for equity markets. However, the existence of such a factor in corporate bond markets is less explored. I find that European corporate bonds of firms with a low equity beta have higher risk-adjusted returns, on average, than European corporate bonds of...
