Employing a bivariate GARCH(1,1) process for spot and futures markets returns, this paper determines the structure of the variance-covariance matrix in the BEKK model. Daily data from December 1995 to April 2001 are used for estimation. The differing structures, dynamic, diagonal and constant,...

This research examines the short run dynamic adjustments and the long run equilibrium relationships between selected macroeconomic variables, trading volume and stock returns in the emerging Greek stock market during the period 1990 to 1999. Empirical results show that short run and long run...

In investigating the impact of futures trading on spot market volatility, it is not obvious to what extent the results obtained using data from well developed and highly liquid markets are applicable to emerging markets. This paper provides evidence on the impact of the introduction of futures...

The impact of voluntary disclosures on cost of equity capital is of significant interest to investors and managers. Using a disclosure scoring model this association is examined for 135 banks from Europe, North America and Australia. After controlling for the cross-sectional variation in beta,...

Evidence on ADR price discovery is provided using data for a large sample from 13 different countries for the period 1990 to 2000. Using Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) models that incorporate both contemporaneous and lagged factors as exogenous...
