This paper investigates the correlation of returns between the U.S. stock and bond markets using two prominent index funds. By employing both rolling correlation and dynamic correlation coefficient models for the sample period from 1996 through 2008, we find that the correlation coefficients...

This study examines whether common stocks provide a hedge against inflation by focusing on a short-term analysis of US markets. Evidence from the aggregate stock market confirms a negative relation between stock returns and inflation, thereby providing no support for the Fisher hypothesis....

This paper tests the relation between expected excess stock returns and illiquidity risk in G7 markets. By conducting panel regressions on monthly data for 20 years, evidence shows that excess stock returns of the G7 countries are positively correlated with market illiquidity risk, but are...

In his seminal paper, Brooks argues that the relation between return volatility and trading volume can be both linear and nonlinear. Adopting both linear and nonlinear Granger causality tests, he shows that there exists both linear and nonlinear bi-directional causality between trading volumes...
