This study investigates the relationship between trading volume and returns and volatility of Pakistani market for the period of July 1998 to October 2008. The Dickey-Fuller test is applied to turn the time series stationary. The ARCH and GARCH-M models are used to test the return, volatility...

Through this research, we find that the asymmetric volatility phenomenon is reversed in the Shanghai Stock Exchange during bull markets. That is, volatility increases more with good news than with bad news. This evidence is inconsistent with the US markets. Further examination of this phenomenon...

We revisit and extend the study by Chordia et al. (2014) which documents that, in recent years, increased liquidity has significantly decreased exploitable returns of capital market anomalies in the US. Using a novel international dataset of arbitrage portfolio returns for four well-known...

This paper examines the trading volume and return and volatility relationship on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius (SEM). Thirty-six stocks, six constructed indices and the SEMDEX has been used to test the validity of the Mixture of Distributions Hypothesis where volume is taken as a proxy for the...

Using the next-day and next-week returns of stocks in the Korean market, we examine the association of option volume ratios - i.e. the option-to-stock (O/S) ratio, which is the total volume of put options and call options scaled by total underlying equity volume, and the put-call (P/C) ratio,...

We discuss several multivariate extensions of the Multiplicative Error Model to take into account dynamic interdependence and contemporaneously correlated innovations (vector MEM or vMEM). We suggest copula functions to link Gamma marginals of the innovations, in a specification where past...

We examine contagion and flight-to-quality phenomena implied by carry strategies. More specifically, we analyze correlation dynamics between returns on a global equity index and returns on an investment strategy with a long position in high-yield and a short position in low-yield markets....

This paper develops a dynamic portfolio selection model incorporating economic uncertainty for business cycles. It is assumed that the financial market at each point in time is defined by a hidden Markov model, which is characterized by the overall equity market returns and volatility. The risk...
