This is the first study to examine the intraday price discovery process between the Singapore Exchange and the China Financial Futures Exchange. Using one- and five-minute high-frequency data from May to November 2011, we found that China’s CSI 300 index futures dominated...

<section xml:id="fut21618-sec-0001"> This study proposes a new estimation approach for option valuation (an implied pricing kernel‐based approach), which estimates model parameters under the physical probability measure (P‐measure) using a pricing kernel implied by the GARCH option pricing model. Analyzing the dataset on the...</section>

In terms of quantifying market risk, this study examines the information and indication embedded in implied volatilities extracted from the KOSPI 200 options and proposes a modified value-at-risk (VaR) framework utilizing the implied volatilities. Our empirical results indicate that the...

This study examines the intraday formation process of transaction prices and bid–ask spreads in the KOSPI 200 futures market. By extending the structural model of Madhavan, A., Richardson, M., and Roomans, M. (<link href="#bib14">1997</link>), we develop a unique cross‐market model that can decompose spread components...

This study examines if informed trading is present in the index option market by analyzing the KOSPI 200 options, the most actively traded derivative product in the world. The spread decomposition model developed by Madhavan, Richardson, and Roomans (1997) is utilized and the adverse‐selection...

Most previous studies examine the relationship between stock market returns and volatility using low frequency data such as daily or weekly basis. In this study, using the high frequency intraday data, we expand the scope of prior studies to investigate the relationship of short-term changes of...

This study examines the forecasting performance of the Taylor rule on the exchange rate when there is uncertainty in the structural breaks in a small open economy. Using the combination window method, which considers the uncertainty of the size of the estimation window, we find that the...
