This paper re-examines the performance of REITs, stocks, and fixed-income assets based on the preferences of risk-averse and risk-seeking investors using mean-variance and stochastic dominance approaches. Our findings indicate no first-order stochastic dominance and no arbitrage opportunity...

This paper examines autocorrelation and cross-autocorrelation patterns for selected Asian stock returns. Special attention is given to examination of Asian stock returns and the impact on them of the past information. By employing a class of asymmetric specification of conditional mean and...

This paper reexamines Asian stock market contagion by applying a dynamic multivariate GARCH model to daily stock-return data in nine Asian countries and the United States during the period from 1996 to 2003. The empirical results find supportive evidence of a contagion effect. By analyzing the...

This paper examines the hypothesis that both stock returns and volatility are asymmetrical functions of past information derived from domestic and US stock market news. By employing a double-threshold regression GARCH model to investigate four major index return series, we find significant...

This paper investigates the correlation of returns between the U.S. stock and bond markets using two prominent index funds. By employing both rolling correlation and dynamic correlation coefficient models for the sample period from 1996 through 2008, we find that the correlation coefficients...
