A multivariate GARCH analysis of equity returns and volatility in Asian equity markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the transmission of equity returns and volatility among Asian equity markets and investigates the differences that exist in this regard between the developed and emerging markets. Three developed markets (Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore) and six emerging markets (Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand) are included in the analysis. A multivariate generalised autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (MGARCH) model is used to identify the source and magnitude of spillovers. The results generally indicate the presence of large and predominantly positive mean and volatility spillovers. Nevertheless, mean spillovers from the developed to the emerging markets are not homogenous across the emerging markets, and own-volatility spillovers are generally higher than cross-volatility spillovers for all markets, but especially for the emerging markets. JEL classification: C51, G15

This paper investigates empirically the effect of volatility of the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar vis-à-vis the euro on U.S. stock market volatility while controlling for a number of drivers of stock return volatility.

متن کاملIdentifying common dynamic features in stock returns
This paper proposes volatility and spectral based methods for cluster analysis of stock returns. Using the information about both the estimated parameters in the threshold GARCH (or TGARCH) equation and the periodogram of the squared returns, we compute a distance matrix for the stock returns. Clusters are formed by looking to the hierarchical structure tree (or dendrogram) and the computed pri...
متن کاملModeling Volatility for the Chinese Equity Markets
A series of GARCH models are investigated for the volatility of the Chinese equity data from the Shenzhen and Shanghai markets. There has been empirical evidence of volatility clustering, contrary to findings in previous studies. Each market contains different GARCH models which fit well. The models are used to test for a spill-over effect between the two Chinese markets, an example of volatili...
