The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive description of the dependence pattern of stock returns by studying a range of quantiles of the conditional return distribution using quantile autoregression. This enables us in particular to study the behavior of extreme quantiles associated...

Financial market spillovers around the globeThis paper investigates the transmission of return and volatility spillovers around the globe. It draws on index futures of three representative indices, namely the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50, the S&P 500 and the Nikkei 225. Devolatised returns and...

This paper investigates the transmission of return and volatility spillovers around the globe. It draws on index futures of three representative indices, namely the Dow Jones Euro Stoxx 50, the Samp;P 500 and the Nikkei 225. Devolatised returns and realised volatilities are modeled separately...

This study investigates the contemporaneous correlation and the spillover effects between the US and the German stock markets around the opening of the two markets. It is based on a newly compiled sample of intra-day data for the two blue chip indices, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DOW) and...

This paper studies investor's attention to gold price movements by analyzing the relationship between gold price changes and internet search queries for gold. We find a positive relationship of gold price volatility and search queries and a strong asymmetric effect of negative gold price changes...

We use quantile regressions to demonstrate that volatility persistence and the asymmetric "leverage" effect are high volatility phenomena. More specifically, we find that (i) low volatility is not persistent, but high volatility all the more, even featuring properties of explosive processes;...
