In this paper, we consider the models that provide evidence of volatility transmission between oil and equity markets. Our aim is to complement previous research by addressing the dynamics of volatility transmission by using the multivariate dynamic conditional correlation–GARCH (DCC-GARCH)...

This study explores the fundamental driving forces of regional equity market integration. The determinant factors are categorized into three dimensions: local, regional and world instrumental variables. My sample consists of equity markets in 4 notable regional trading blocs: Latin America,...

Abstract This paper studies the regional stock market integration process. First, we estimate the time-varying world market risk price and the price of currency risk using an international CAPM with segmentation effects. Second, we study the time varying integration with Markov Switching Model....

This article investigates the evolution of the Asian stock market integration with the regional one. First, we estimate the time-varying degree of Asian market integration using conditional version of the International Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) with DCC-GARCH para-meters. Secondly, we...

The paper applies Markov Regime Switching Model (MRSM) to investigate the volatility behaviour of seventeen OECD stock markets (U.S.A, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Australia, Japan) for the period 2004-2010. The results distinguish between...

This study explores the fundamental driving forces of regional equity market integration. The determinant factors are categorized into three dimensions: market attribute, economic fundamentals and world information. My sample consists of equity markets in 4 notable regional trading blocs: Latin...

This article contributes to the financial literature by investigating the formation of the international stock risk premium in emerging market zones. Our results from the estimation of a dynamic augmented capital asset pricing model show that the currency risk premium is the most important...

This article assesses the impact of real energy prices on the consumption of different energy sources in Tunisia. We estimate the short-run and long-run energy demand elasticities over the period 1980-2004, where energy demand is specified by a simple partial adjustment model. Our results show...

In this paper we use the Markov regime-switching model to investigate the volatility behavior of six Mediterranean stock markets (France, Spain, Greece, Egypt, Tunisia, and Turkey) over the turbulent period 1995-2010. Our results show strong evidence of regime shifts in each of these markets. We...

In this paper, we show how capital structure decisions made by non-financial firms listed in the Tunis Stock Exchange are affected by the predictions of the so-called market timing theory. Using a set of some relevant variables which reflect the market-timing signals, the firm fundamentals, and...
