This article examines the return, volatility, upside risk and downside risk spillover effects from crude oil prices and the US$/INR exchange rate to the major Indian industrial sectors using Hong’s (2001) approach. We make use of the generalised autoregressive conditional...

This paper examines the linkages among the stock markets of Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain and India using the vector autoregressive multivariate exponential generalised autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (VAR-MVEGARCH) model. We also examine the return and volatility...

Purpose – The main purpose of this paper is to examine the asymmetry and long memory properties in the volatility of the stock indices of the PIIGS economies (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain). Design/methodology/approach – The paper utilizes the wavelets approach (based on Haar,...

Using high frequency data, this paper examines the long memory property in the unconditional and conditional volatility of the USD/INR exchange rate at different time scales using the Local Whittle (LW), the Exact Local Whittle (ELW) and the FIAPARCH models. Results indicate that the long memory...

We propose and implement an empirical automatic bias correction (ABC) procedure for correcting the downward bias in the volatility estimators that utilize extreme value of asset prices. The bias originates from the random walk effect. The proposed estimator does not require knowledge of N, the...

This paper tests the finite sample properties of the Kuan and Lee's (KL) test to study market efficiency by mean of extensive Monte Carlo experiments using different data generating processes. We apply the KL test with and without wild bootstrap on the six global stock indices covering major US,...

This study explores the dynamic nature of return, volatility and correlation transmission mechanism among Indian exchange rates relative to US dollar (USD), Great Britain pound (GBP), euro and Japanese yen. We make use of the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) vector autoregressive...

In this paper, we derive a reflection principle for a random walk with the symmetric double exponential distribution. This allows us to come up with the closed form solution for the joint probability of the running maximum and the terminal value of the random walk. Based on this new theoretical...

Based on the specification of the Conditional Autoregressive Range (CARR) model, we provide a framework that makes use of volatility based on the high and the low of daily prices separately to model the dynamic behavior of the conditional Rogers and Satchell (1991) estimator called herein the...

In this paper, we provide a framework to model and forecast daily volatility based on the newly proposed additive bias corrected extreme value volatility estimator (the Add RS estimator). The theoretical framework of the additive bias corrected extreme value volatility estimator is based on the...
