We examine the contemporaneous correlation as well as the lead-lag relation between trading volume and return volatility in all stocks comprising the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). We use 5-minute intraday data and measure return volatility by the EGARCH method. Contrary to the mixture of...

We examine the role of index futures trading in spot market volatility. We use the exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) approach to measure volatility, analyze causality and feedback relations between volatilities in the spot and futures markets, and...

We examine the role of index futures trading in spot market volatility. We use the exponential generalized auto-regressive conditional heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) approach to measure volatility, analyze causality and feedback relations between volatilities in the spot and futures markets, and...

This paper investigates the hypotheses that the recently established Mexican stock index futures market effectively serves the price discovery function, and that the introduction of futures trading has provoked volatility in the underlying spot market. We test both hypotheses simultaneously with...

We propose a new methodology to test Fama's (1991) contention that the present value model (PVM) should be augmented by time-varying expected inflation to more adequately account for actual stock price behavior. Unlike other methods, our testing approach can distinguish between the excess-price...

The role of several theoretical factors in determining the demand of US banks for borrowed reserves from the Fed is empirically investigated. The main objective is to isolate the candidate(s) most likely responsible for the recent observed phenomenon of banks reluctance to borrow from the Fed,...
