Volatility spillover effect in international financial markets is one of the principal issues that widely attract academic and industrial scholars’ attention. Through constructing a binary GARCH-BEKK model, this study empirically tests the volatility effects among stock market, gold market, WTI crude oil futures market and spot market, and concludes that there is bidirectional volatility spillo...

We used a no-arbitrage, cost-of-carry pricing model to examine whether equity spot and futures markets are cointegrated. A stock index and its futures price should be cointegrated if the cost of carry is stationary. Otherwise, the appropriate cointegrating relationship is trivariate. We found that the Standard and Poor’s 500 index, associated futures series, and interest rate are all nonstation...

In recent years, the increasing importance of the futures market in the Indian financial markets has received considerable attention from researchers, academicians and financial analysts. This paper is an attempt to examine the time varying properties of volatility of India’s stock index futures market. The application of GARCH class models provides the evidence of the persistence of time varyi...

Using a spillover index approach, we investigate volatility spillovers across China’s stock, bond, commodity futures, and foreign exchange (FX) markets and their evolution during the period 2005–2015. We find that these four financial markets are weakly integrated. The stock market is the largest net sender of volatility spillovers to other markets, followed by the bond market, and the FX and c...

April 2015 Abstract We present evidence that the aggregate capital stock of firms in oil and gas exploration and development (E&D) as well as firms’ inventories help in explaining the dynamics of the slope of the futures curve for crude oil. Standard structural approaches for modeling the futures curve either highlight the role of inventory (storage models) or the rate of extraction (production...

In a highly interdependent economic world, the nature of relationships between financial entities is becoming an increasingly important area of study. Recently, many studies have shown the usefulness of minimal spanning trees (MST) in extracting interactions between financial entities. Here, we propose a modified MST network whose metric distance is defined in terms of cross-correlation coeffic...
