In this paper we extend the standard shock spillover model of Bekaert and Harvey (1997), Baele (2003) and Ng (2000) to account for asymmetries of return and volatility spillover effects from the US equity market into Canada and Mexico. Unlike previous research, we model the conditional...

This paper studies the dynamics of volatility transmission between Central European (CE) currencies and the EUR/USD foreign exchange using model-free estimates of daily exchange rate volatility based on intraday data. We formulate a flexible yet parsimonious parametric model in which the daily...

We examine the spillover effects of the unremunerated reserve requirement (URR), which had been implemented in Thailand during 2006–2007, on stock returns through the Thai baht (THB) exchange rate against the euro (EUR) and the Japanese yen (JPY). Based on a sample of 270 firms listed on the...

Financial integration of emerging economies is on the rise and so are financial and monetary spillovers, especially those originating from US economic policy decisions and the (related) evolution of the US dollar. We revisit the “trilemma” vs. “dilemma” hypothesis and assess whether, and...

We examine the linkages both within and between stock and foreign exchange (FX) markets via three higher moments of return distributions (volatility, skewness and kurtosis). We find FX market linkages (in the 2nd and 4th moments) are relatively more prominent in developed markets. Cross-asset...

This paper explores the role of trade invoicing currencies in the international spillover of monetary policy. Using high-frequency measures of Federal Reserve monetary policy shocks, I show the exchange rates, interest rates and equity returns in countries with larger shares of dollar-invoiced...

This paper examines the effects of quantitative easing (QE) announcements by the European Central Bank (ECB), the Bank of England (BoE) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) on the intraday volatility transmissions among EUR, GBP and JPY. The empirical results indicate: (i) an increased volatility...

We analyze the channels for the cross-border propagation of sovereign credit risk in the international sovereign debt market. We study sovereign credit contagion through the immediate effects of credit events as defined by CDS spread jumps on the credit spreads of other regional sovereigns and...
