This paper estimates time-varying optimal hedge ratios (OHRs) using a bivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) error correction model. The GARCH specification accounts for time-varying distribution in asset returns while the error correction term preserves...

The Fisherian theory of interest asserts that a fully perceived change in inflation would be reflected in nominal interest rates and stock returns in the same direction in the long run. This paper examines the Fisherian hypothesis of asset returns using alternative techniques of linear...
