The paper suggests a nonlinear and multivariate time series model framework that enables the study of simultaneity in returns and in volatilities, as well as asymmetric effects arising from shocks. Using daily data 2000-2006 for the Baltic state stock exchanges and that of Moscow we find...

Momentum strategies have drawn great attention in investment management literature over last two decades. In this paper we examine three important propositions in Indian context (1) Do momentum profits persist for long time periods?, (2) Can these momentum profits be absorbed by risk models?,...

Recent research suggests that machine learning models dominate traditional linear models in predicting cross-sectional stock returns. We confirm this finding when predicting one-month forward-looking returns based on a set of common stock characteristics, including predictors such as short-term...

The purpose of this study is to examine patterns of price limit hits for stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Explanations are provided for the empirical findings and the extent to which the price limit hit patterns are related to existing stock returns patterns. We argue that if patterns...

We estimate global return autocorrelation by using the quantile autocorrelation model and investigate its determinants across 43 stock markets from 1980 to 2013. Although our results document a decline in autocorrelation across the entire sample period for all countries, return autocorrelation...

This study examines the relative importance of liquidity risk for the time-series and cross-section of stock returns in the UK. We propose a simple way to capture the multidimensionality of illiquidity. Our analysis indicates that existing illiquidity measures have considerable asset specific...

This paper investigates for the first time the effects of oil demand shocks and oil supply shocks on stock order flow imbalances leading to changes in stock returns. Through the estimation of a structural VAR model, positive oil demand shocks are able to explain almost 36% of the observed...

Recent studies suggest that momentum returns are conditioned by market states, but we find that China is different. First, we find that momentum returns in China exclusively follow DOWN markets contrary to the U.S. evidence. Second, the absence of momentum returns following UP markets in China...

This study aims to explore the performance persistence of frontier market equity anomalies. To this end, I replicate 140 anomalies in the cross-section of returns in a sample of 23 frontier markets. I demonstrate a robust and strong performance persistence in the anomaly returns. The return...

Using hand-collected news headlines for a large sample of listed firms in China over a period of 2000–2015, we find that no-media coverage stocks earns 55 basis points a month higher than stocks that are covered by the media. This result is robust after controlling for common risk factors and...
