In this study, we assess the dynamic evolution of short-term correlation, long-term cointegration and Error Correction Model (hereafter referred to as ECM)-based long-term Granger causality between each pair of US, UK, and Eurozone stock markets from 1980 to 2015 using the rolling-window technique. A comparative analysis of pairwise dynamic integration and causality of stock markets, measured i...

From the perspective of the agent-based model of stock markets, this paper examines the possible explanations for the presence of the causal relation between stock returns and trading volume. The implication of this result is that the presence of the stock price-volume causal relation does not require any explicit assumptions like information asymmetry, reaction asymmetry, noise traders, or tax...

The interrelationship between international stock markets has been a key study area among the financial market researchers for international portfolio management and risk measurement. The characteristics of security returns and their dynamics play a vital role in the financial market theory. This study is an attempt to find out the dynamic linkages among the equity market of USA and emerging ma...

in today’s world, markets are no longer under the limitations of a specific location and the importance of this issue is illustrated in effective decision making of economic agents, because the world financial markets are considered often valuable guideline for domestic and foreign markets. in this research, due to the connections between world stock markets, stock markets in countries with the...

Overtrading is a common anomaly among stock investors. This study examines the relationship between overtrading and investment returns and the impact of the Big Five traits and gender on overtrading in a unilateral trend stock market using a simulated stock investment system. The data were derived from a sample of undergraduates from six universities who performed in a simulated stock investmen...

First, we find that stock markets in Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and Emerging Asia are sensitive to stock market activity of the G7 countries. However, the impact of the former on the G7 countries is much weaker at different time scales. In the same vein, the North America stock markets help to explain the evolution of returns in Latin America, Emerging Asia, the Far East...

In this analysis of the risk and return of stocks in global markets, we apply several applications of robust regression techniques in producing stock selection models and several optimization techniques in portfolio construction in global stock universes.We find that (1) that robust regression applications are appropriate for modeling stock returns in global markets; and (2) mean-variance techn...

The consequences of regional trade agreements (RTAs) on countries’ welfare are disputed. In this paper, we assess these effects using stock returns from a recent data set that spans over two hundred RTA announcements, eighty economies, and twenty years. We measure the effects of news concerning RTAs on the returns of national stock markets, after adjusting these returns for international stock ...

We study the temporal evolution of the market efficiency in the stock markets using the complexity, entropy density, standard deviation, autocorrelation function, and probability distribution of the log return for Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500), Nikkei stock average index, and Korean composition stock price index (KOSPI). Based on a microscopic spin model, we also find that these statistical...
