Equity market contagion in return volatility during Euro Zone and global financial crises : evidence from FIMACH model

Quoreshi, A. M. M. Shahiduzzaman; Uddin, Reaz; … - In: Journal of risk and financial management : JRFM 12 (2019) 2/94, pp. 1-18

The current paper studies equity markets for the contagion of squared index returns as a proxy for stock market … squared stock returns of all 35 stock indices studied. Empirical findings show the evidence of contagion during the global … financial crisis (GFC) and Euro Zone crisis (EZC). The intensity of contagion varies depending on its sources. This implies that …

The uncovered return parity condition

Cappiello, Lorenzo; De Santis, Roberto A. - 2007

This paper proposes an equilibrium relationship between expected exchange rate changes and differentials in expected returns on risky assets. We show that when expected returns on a risky asset in a certain economy are higher than the returns that are expected from investing in a risky asset in...

Hierarchical Markov normal mixture models with applications to financial asset returns

Geweke, John; Amisano, Gianni - 2007

With the aim of constructing predictive distributions for daily returns, we introduce a new Markov normal mixture model in which the components are themselves normal mixtures. We derive the restrictions on the autocovariances and linear representation of integer powers of the time series in...

How arbitrage-free is the Nelson-Siegel Model?

Coroneo, Laura; Nyholm, Ken; Vidova-Koleva, Rositsa - 2008

We test whether the Nelson and Siegel (1987) yield curve model is arbitrage-free in a statistical sense. Theoretically, the Nelson-Siegel model does not ensure the absence of arbitrage opportunities, as shown by Bjork and Christensen (1999). Still, central banks and public wealth managers rely...

International stock return comovements

Bekaert, Geert; Hodrick, Robert J.; Zhang, Xiaoyan - 2008

We examine international stock return comovements using country-industry and country-style portfolios as the base portfolios. We first establish that parsimonious risk-based factor models capture the covariance structure of the data better than the popular Heston- ouwenhorst (1994) model. We...

The term structure of equity premia in an affine arbitrage-free model of bond and stock market dynamics

Lemke, Wolfgang; Werner, Thomas - 2009

We estimate time-varying expected excess returns on the US stock market from 1983 to 2008 using a model that jointly captures the arbitrage-free dynamics of stock returns and nominal bond yields. The model nests the class of affine term structure (of interest rates) models. Stock returns and...

Multimarket trading and the cost of debt: evidence from global bonds

Petrasek, Lubomir - 2010

Global bonds are international securities designed to be traded and settled efficiently in multiple markets. This paper studies global bonds to examine the effects of multimarket trading on corporate bond liquidity, prices, and the cost of debt. Using a sample of primary and secondary market...

Predictability in the cross-section of European bank stock returns

Drobetz, Wolfgang; Erdmann, Thomas; Zimmermann, Heinz - 2007

This paper investigates the impact of individual bank fundamental variables on stock market returns using data from a panel of 235 European banks from 1991 to 2005. The sample period marks a significant transition in the European banking sector, characterized by higher competition, lower profit...

Testing for monotonicity in expected asset returns

Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2013

Many postulated relations in finance imply that expected asset returns strictly increase in an underlying characteristic. To examine the validity of such a claim, one needs to take the entire range of the characteristic into account, as is done in the recent proposal of Patton and Timmermann...

Alterntive tests for monotonicity in expected asset returns

Romano, Joseph P.; Wolf, Michael - 2011

Many postulated relations in finance imply that expected asset returns should monotonically increase in a certain characteristic. To examine the validity of such a claim, one typically considers a finite number of return categories, ordered according to the underlying characteristic. A standard...
