A copula approach is used to examine the extreme return-volume relationship in six emerging East-Asian equity markets. The empirical results indicate that there is significant and asymmetric return-volume dependence at extremes for these markets. In particular, extremely high returns (large...

In this paper, we propose the use of static and dynamic copulas to study the leverage effect in the S&P 500 index. Copula models can conveniently separate the leverage effect from the marginal distributions of the return and its volatility. Daily volatility is proxied by a measure of realized...

We present a two-factor volatility model to study the impact of news arrival and trading volume on stock returns variance. The model can explicitly account for the association between volatility and volume, as well as the persistence in equity variance. Unlike the standard "Mixture of...

Since oil prices are typically governed by nonlinear and chaotic behavior, it's become rather difficult to capture the dominant properties of their fluctuations. In recent years, unprecedented interest emerged on the decomposition methods in order to capture drifts or spikes relatively to this...

The main objective of this paper is to quantify the effect of expectation changes about discount rate and dividend growth rate over the Chilean market portfolio returns. The model applied was taken from the works of Campbell and Shiller (1988, 1988a), Campbell (1991) and Campbell and Vuolteenaho...

In this paper, we extend the concept of News Impact Curve developed by Engle and Ng (1993) to the higher moments of the multivariate returns' distribution, thereby providing a tool to investigate the impact of shocks on the characteristics of the subsequent distribution. For this purpose, we...

Portfolio sorting is ubiquitous in the empirical finance literature, where it has been widely used to identify pricing anomalies in different asset classes. Despite the popularity of portfolio sorting, little attention has been paid to the statistical properties of the procedure or to the...

Standard economic models based on rational expectations and homogeneity have problems explaining the complex and volatile nature of financial markets. Recently, boundedly rational and heterogeneous agent models have been developed and simulated returns are found to exhibit various stylized...
