This paper analyses how borrower liquidity constraints and home equity relate to the realized loss given default (LGD) using the quarterly U.S. residential mortgage loan-level data observed from Q2 2005 to Q1 2015. We define defaulted loans with zero-LGD as cure loans and those with non-zero LGD...

We find that leverage-initiating stocks experience an increase in return comovement with existing leveraged stocks and a decrease in return comovement with existing zero-leverage stocks in the year after the leverage initiation event. In contrast, stocks that fully deleverage comove more with...

We develop a framework that allows a multivariate system of long memory processes to be conditional on specific regimes to investigate the effects of credit rating agencies (CRAs)' sovereign credit re-ratings on European stock and currency return distributions via their first four realized...

We develop a generalized impulse response function for the fractionally integrated vector autoregressive (FIVAR) model using the Pesaran and Shin (1998) approach. Our method is different from the methodology shown in Chung (2001) since it does not require us to orthogonalize the error vector...

We examine the linkages both within and between stock and foreign exchange (FX) markets via three higher moments of return distributions (volatility, skewness and kurtosis). We find FX market linkages (in the 2nd and 4th moments) are relatively more prominent in developed markets. Cross-asset...

This paper focuses on examining the impact of crude oil price volatility on the price changes of major edible oils (rapeseed, soybean, and sunflower), which are the main feedstock for the biodiesel industry in the European Union. For this purpose, a four-variate version of non-diagonal...

Rational strategic planning has long been used as an instrument to improve financial performance. With the increasing complexity of the business environment, this positive impact has decreased. As a result, there have been several calls for more work focusing on investigating and understanding...

Using a sample of the G20 countries, we examine the impact of COVID-19 on stock return and volatility connectedness, and whether the connectedness measures behave differently for countries with SARS 2003 experience. We find that both stock return and volatility connectedness increase across the...

We assess investors' reaction to new information arrivals in financial markets by examining the relationships between trading volume and the higher moments of returns in 18 international equity and currency markets. Our volume-volatility results support extant information theories and further...
