It is argued that the use of derivatives instruments is considered non-sharia compliant by the National Sharia Board (NSB) of the Indonesian Council of Ulama. However,...

Using the same data set, a researcher can obtain very different reduced form estimates just by assuming different macroeconomic models. Reiterative Truncated Projected Least Squares (RTPLS) or Variable Slope Generalized Least Squares (VSGLS) can be used to estimate total derivatives that are not...

Using data from the Borsa İstanbul (BIST), this study analyzes whether derivatives market operations have a volatility spillover effect on stock indexes using multivariate GARCH models and wavelet methods. We use the DVECH method, with variables for the daily BIST 30 index and BIST 30 index...
