Long-term memories of developed and emerging markets: Using the scaling analysis to characterize their stage of development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scaling properties encompass in a simple analysis many of the volatility characteristics of financial markets. That is why we use them to probe the different degree of markets development. We empirically study the scaling properties of daily Foreign Exchange rates, Stock Market indices and fixed income instruments by using the generalized Hurst approach. We show that the scaling exponents are associated with characteristics of the specific markets and can be used to differentiate markets in their stage of development. The robustness of the results is tested by both Monte Carlo studies and a computation of the scaling in the frequency domain. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملLong Memory in Stock Returns: A Study of Emerging Markets
The present study aimed at investigating the existence of long memory properties in ten emerging stock markets across the globe.

If returns are not independent, past returns can help predict future returns, thereby violating the market efficiency hypothesis. It poses a serious challenge to ...
