This paper defines and analyzes the impulse response function for conditional volatility in GARCH models. It first derives the function from a vector autoregressive and moving average representation of the GARCH models and obtains the corresponding standard errors from the first-order...

This paper examines whether Japan's financial deregulation weakened the linkage between the Euroyen and Gensaki markets. It defines and analyzes the linkage of the two markets in terms of the persistence and predictability of yield spreads, as well as cross-market causality. By using Johansen...

This paper investigates empirically how returns and volatilities correlated between Tokyo and New York stock indices (Nikkei 225 and s&p500). First, intradaily data are used, so that daytime and overnight returns are defined for both markets. Tokyo daytime hours overlap with New York overnight...

This paper proposes four estimators for factor GARCH models: two-stage univariate GARCH (2SUE), two-stage quasi-maximum likelihood (2SML), quasi-maximum likelihood with known factor weights (RMLE), quasi-maximum likelihood with unknown factor weights (MLE). A Monte-Carlo study is designed for...

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the interactions among returns, volatility, and trading volume between the U.S. and Japanese stock markets by using intradaily data from October 1985 to December 1991. By examining the effect of foreign price volatility and trading volume on...

This paper defines and tests a form of market efficiency called market dexterity which requires that asset prices adjust instantaneously and completely in response to new information. Examining the behavior of the yen/dollar exchange rate while each of the major markets are open it is possible...

This paper investigates empirically how returns and volatilities of stock indices are correlated between Tokyo and New York. Intradaily data are used, so that daytime and overnight returns are defined for both markets. Tokyo daytime hours overlap with New York overnight hours, while New York...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the intra-daily volatility of the yen/dollar exchange rate over three different regimes from 1979 to 1988 which correspond to different degrees of international policy coordination. In each regime we test for heat wave vs. meteor shower effects. The heat...
