Ethanol has been the subject of intense debate following the adoption of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) which established that the gasoline supply in the United States (U.S.) must contain 10% ethanol. This work seeks to identify hedging ratios using dynamic multivariate GARCH to best...

This study has carried out some preliminary time series analyses to examine the impacts of demonetization which was carried out in India on 8 November 2016, on the well-known Indian stock index, BSE SENSEX, and four major sectoral indices viz., BSE BANKEX, BSE Auto, BSE Reality and BSE Smallcap,...

This paper examines the impact of policy uncertainty on the Sovereign-Bank Nexus over various time-scales and frequencies. Considering Credit Default Swap premia from 32 banks in 10 countries, cross-wavelet analysis shows that sovereign default risk leads banking sector default risk in the...

This paper sheds new light on the mutual relationship between investor sentiment and excess returns corresponding to the bubble component of stock prices. We propose to use the wavelet concept of the phase angle to determine the lead-lag relation between these variables. The wavelet phase angle...

In this paper, we used the GARCH (1,1) and GARCH-M (1,1) models to investigate volatility and persistence at daily frequency for European and US financial markets. In the study we included fourteen stock indices (twelve Europeans and two Americans), during March 2013 - January 2017. The results...

In this paper, we study the dynamic interdependencies between high-frequency volatility, liquidity demand as well as trading costs in an electronic limit order book market. Using data from the Australian Stock Exchange we model 1-min squared mid-quote returns, average trade sizes, number of...

We introduce a long memory autoregressive conditional Poisson (LMACP) model to model highly persistent time series of counts. The model is applied to forecast quoted bid-ask spreads, a key parameter in stock trading operations. It is shown that the LMACP nicely captures salient features of...

I examine whether or not returns on stock markets are a leading indicator for real macroeconomic developments in Austria, Japan and the USA. Further I deal with the concept of stock market efficiency, the question whether or not information from real and financial sectors of the economy is...

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...

We analyze dynamics of the permanent and transitory components of the U.S. economic activity and the stock market obtained by multivariate dynamic factor modeling. We capture asymmetries over the phases of economic and stock market trends and cycles using independent Markov-switching processes....
