This paper employs three Value-at-Risk (VaR) models (GARJI, ARJI and asymmetric GARCH) to compare the performance of 1-day-ahead VaR estimates. The influences of price jumps and asymmetric information on the performance of VaR are investigated. Two stock indices (Dow Jones and S&P 500) and one...

In this paper we derive a new mean-risk hedge ratio based on the concept of Value at Risk (VaR). The proposed zero-VaR hedge ratio has an analytical solution and it converges to the MV hedge ratio under a pure martingale process or normality. A bivariate constant correlation GARCH(1,1) model...

This article investigates normal and abnormal information transmissions by examining diffusion volatility and jump intensity spillovers in China's stock markets. We analyse the impact of releasing investing restriction to information transmission mechanism, and also the interactions between 'A'...

This investigation adopts the Correlated Bivariate Poisson GARCH with Jump and Diffusion Volatility Spillover (CBP-GARCH-JDSV) model to determine whether the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (QFIIs) deregulation in Taiwanese stock markets influences normal and abnormal information...

This study adopts the autoregressive conditional jump intensity (ARJI) model proposed by Chan and Maheu [J. Business Econ. Stat. 20 (2002) 377–389] to investigate the impact of news on SIMEX-Nikkei 225 and CME-Nikkei 225 (regards it as the twins). Empirical results demonstrate that the twins...
