While there has been much judicial discussion regarding the competency of Australia’s continuous disclosure regime with reference to contemporaneous international standards, there has to date been limited empirical analysis of the Australian system’s effectiveness in preventing selective...

Contemporaneous transmission effects across volatilities of the Hong Kong Stock and Index futures markets and futures volume of trade are tested by employing a structural systems approach. Competing measures of volatility spillover, constructed from the overnight U.S. S&P500 index futures, are...

The extremely high A- share under-pricing in China’s primary market provides us with a very interesting area of empirical research. Previous studies on China’s IPO underpricing have been suggestive, but in-conclusive. A significant decline in A- share underpricing is found in 2003 relative...

A systematic BEKK-GARCH model with multiple switch points in the variance equations is found to capture the structural changes that have taken place in the Hong Kong markets. Abolishment of the uptick rule in the Hong Kong stock market, increase of initial margins and electronic trading of Hang...

Simultaneous Volatility models are developed and shown to be separate from Multivariate GARCH estimators. An example is provided that allows for simultaneous and uni-directional volatility and volume of trade effects. These effects are tested using intra-day data from the Australian cash index...

We adopt a BEKK-GARCH framework and employ a systematic approach to jointly examine structural breaks in the Hong Kong cash index and index futures volatility and volatility spillovers from the S&P 500 cash and futures. Multiple switching dummy variables are included in the variance equations to...

In an earlier paper, we adopted a bi-variate BEKK–GARCH framework and employed a systematic approach to examine structural breaks in the Hang Seng Index and Index Futures market volatility. Switching dummy variables were included and tested in the variance equations to check for any structural...

This paper models the cross-market dynamics in an emerging market regional setting using a homogenous set of international sovereign bonds issued by key Latin American economies. We employ Johansen's and a modified three-step procedure, which generates portfolio adjustment weights while...

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the impact that the introduction of exchange traded derivative warrants has on the underlying securities' price, volume and volatility in the Australian market. The impact that derivative trading has on the underlying security is essential to our...
