We investigate relations between Eurocurrency interest rates using frequency domain methods, which permit us to decompose test statistics into short-term and long-term causality measures. We document significant linkages between international interest rates. Specifically, we show that the euro...

This paper investigates alternative explanations of long-term comovements among the prices of agricultural commodity futures contracts. A long-term interdependency of these prices can exist because of common economic fundamentals or herd behaviour by market participants. An analysis of Tokyo...

Ten years ago we published an article that documented the views of chief financial officers about doing business in Eastern Europe. Since then there has been progress toward economic stabilization and the development of market economies in the region. These changes and other significant events...

We investigate return and volatility spillovers across the currency futures markets utilizing recently developed frequency domain tests. Our analysis permits to differentiate between permanent and transitory linkages between the markets by examining high and low frequency dynamics. We identify...

However, this is only detected when frequency dependency in the regression is statistically accounted for, suggesting nonlinear dynamics between the variables. We also test whether commodity prices can...

The price dynamics of gold and silver have long been a matter of popular concern and fascination. The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamics of the bivariate relationship between gold and silver prices. First, we investigate the spread, measured as the price difference between...

This paper examines the relation between oil price changes and stock returns. By using recently developed frequency domain methods, the study shows that there is significant time variation in the linkage between oil and equities. Oil price shocks with less than 12-month persistency have a...
