Joint tests of contagion are derived which are designed to have power where contagion operates simultaneously through coskewness, cokurtosis and covolatility. Finite sample properties of the new tests are evaluated and compared with existing tests of contagion that focus on a single channel....

A general procedure is proposed to identify changes in asset return interdependence over time using entropy theory. The approach provides a decomposition of interdependence in terms of comoments including coskewness, cokurtosis and covolatility as well as more traditional measures based on...

This paper empirically examines the effect of the Great Recession of 2009 to 12 on the US tourism industry and firm performance. The daily equity index and firm performance data are collected from the 30 selected US tourism firms during the period of 2005 to 12. Applying the joint test of...
