Study of market inter-dependency helps the investors, financial managers, policy makers and other stake holders to formulate their financial strategies according to the direction and strength of dependence of one market with another market. In this study we analyse the integration and...

We employ multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) to provide the first look at the efficiency of forex markets during the initial period of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted the financial markets globally. We use high frequency (5-min interval) data of six major...

This paper applies recently developed procedures to monitor and date so-called "financial market dislocations", defined as periods in which substantial deviations from arbitrage parities take place. In particular, we focus on deviations from the triangular arbitrage parity for exchange rate...

Bank solvency is affected by currency fluctuations if foreign currency loans (FCL) are significant. Current paper analyzed the extremity of these fluctuations and the time-variance of the currency correlations in the case of the Hungarian Forint and Czech Koruna (as a control variable) against...

Studying all possible pairs of eleven major currencies and eleven portfolios in 1976-2008 we show that, when there is no leverage, carry trade is significantly profitable for most currency pairs and portfolios. Positive returns do not diminish in time providing a strong case against the...

Recent empirical studies have established that deviations from the Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) condition may be different across macroeconomic regimes. We extend this work to account for possible nonlinearities and endogeneity by estimating a Threshold Vector Autoregression (TVAR) model....

This paper examines the relationship between currency option's implied skewness and its future realized skewness, where the difference is known as the skewness risk premium (SRP). The SRP indicates whether investors pay a premium to be insured against future crash risk. Past investigations about...

In this paper, we study the effectiveness of carry trade strategies during and after the financial crisis using a flexible approach to modeling currency returns. We decompose the currency returns into multiplicative sign and absolute return components, which exhibit much greater predictability...

The study of financial shock propagation across markets has motivated numerous researchers to investigate the mechanisms of return and volatility spillovers to prevent harmful shock transmission. This article studies the contemporaneous spillovers by employing a structural vector autoregressive...
