We study the changing international transmission of US monetary policy shocks to 14 OECD countries over the period 1981-2010. We use a Time Varying Parameter Factor Augmented VAR approach (TVP-FAVAR) to study the EFFR shocks together with a large data set of 265, major financial, macroeconomic...

We study the changing international transmission of US monetary policy shocks to 14 major OECD countries over the period 1981Q1-2010Q4. We use a time-varying parameter factor augmented VAR approach to study the effective federal funds rate shocks together with a large data set of 265, major...

This study examines the Time Varying Dynamic Conditional Correlations (TVDCC)among the returns of short term Money Market Rates, Real Effective Exchange Rates, and of other asset classes including, Stock Market (SM) indices and REIT indices during the Dot-com Bubble (2000) and Recent Global...

The aim of this article is to examine: how the dynamics of correlations between five emerging countries (Argentina, Chili, Hungary, Russia and Poland), two emerging regions (Latin America (LAC) and Europe (EU)) and U.S. evolved from January 2004 to September 2011. The main contribution of this...

This article investigates shift-contagion as defined by Forbes and Rigobon (2002) in 16 OECD member economies during most recent financial crisis i.e. global financial crisis (2008 -2009) and European sovereign debt crisis (2009-2012), using multivariate asymmetric dynamic conditional...

In this paper we provide evidence of the impact of monetary policy on a broad range of macro-economic variables for U.S, Canada, U.K., and Japan using factor-augmented vector auto regressive (FAVAR) model developed by Bernanke, Boivin and Eliasz (2003). Traditional approaches, such as vector...

The aim of this study is to assess and analyze exchange rate risk related to three currencies i.e. Euro, American Dollar and Japanese yen on External Debt Portfolio of Pakistan (EDPP) through different Value-at-risk (VAR) methodologies from year 2001 to 2006. We apply and compare different VAR...

The paper applies Markov Regime Switching Model (MRSM) to investigate the volatility behaviour of seventeen OECD stock markets (U.S.A, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Australia, Japan) for the period 2004-2010. The results distinguish between...

This article investigates the dynamics of conditional correlation among the G14 banks’ dealer for the credit default swap market from January 2004 until May 2009. By using the asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation model developed by Cappiello, Engle and Sheppard (2006), we examine if...

The spread of the global financial crisis of 2008/2009 was rapid, and impacted the functioning and the performance of financial markets. Due to the importance of this phenomenon, this study aims to explain the impact of the crisis on stock market behavior and interdependence through the study of...
