This paper uses the Fama-French three-factor model to explain the cross-section of stock returns over various time scales using a new approach. The new approach is based on a wavelet multiscaling method that decomposes a given time series on a scale-by-scale basis. The empirical results provide...

This paper examines the relationship between the stock and futures markets in terms of lead-lag relationship, correlation, and the hedge ratio using wavelet analysis.
