This paper compares the behavior of real interest rate differentials across the major countries under the Bretton Woods Regime and the regime of floating exchanges that replaced it. The primary object is to investigate both the extent of market integration and how it may have changed through...

This paper compares the behavior of real interest rate differentials across the major countries under the Bretton Woods regime and the regime of floating exchanges that replaced it. The primary object is to investigate both the extent of market integration and its changes over time. For all...

Important financial risks facing the airline industry include interest-rate, currency and fuel-price risk. This paper estimates the exposure to these risks within the airline industry of Australia and New Zealand, using both linear and non-linear specifications, for a variety of horizon lengths....

This paper provides Australian evidence, obtained during unusual trading conditions, on put call parity theory. The empirical results show that observed violations of the theory are insufficient to indicate that economic profits can be derived therefrom after allowing for normal transaction...

This paper presents empirical evidence on the effectiveness of eight different parametric ARCH models in describing daily stock returns. Twenty-seven years of UK daily data on a broad-based value weighted stock index are investigated for the period 1971-97. Several interesting results are...

Previous evidence suggests that the implied volatility from equity index options, as a measure of stock market uncertainty, can provide "forward-looking information" about the stock–bond return correlation. This paper uses an alternative regime-switching autoregressive model to characterize...

We document asymmetry in return and volatility spillover between equity and bond markets in Australia for daily returns during the period 1992-2006 using a bivariate GARCH modelling approach. Negative bond market returns spillover into lower stock market returns whereas good news originating in...
