A copula approach is used to examine the extreme return-volume relationship in six emerging East-Asian equity markets. The empirical results indicate that there is significant and asymmetric return-volume dependence at extremes for these markets. In particular, extremely high returns (large...

In this paper, we propose the use of static and dynamic copulas to study the leverage effect in the S&P 500 index. Copula models can conveniently separate the leverage effect from the marginal distributions of the return and its volatility. Daily volatility is proxied by a measure of realized...

Volatility clustering is a well-known stylized feature of financial asset returns. This paper investigates asymmetric pattern in volatility clustering by employing a univariate copula approach of Chen and Fan (2006). Using daily realized kernel volatilities constructed from high frequency data...
