Long memory in PIIGS economies: An application of wavelet analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies long-memory properties of stock prices in PIIGS economies (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) and measures the evolution of their long-memory phenomena over time. We use the Hurst exponent as a measure of long-range dependence in stock prices. We apply wavelet analysis (based on Haar, Daubechies-4, Daubechies12 and Daubechies-20 wavelets) for computation of Hurst exponents. In addition, we utilize the semiparametric Local Whittle approach to test the robustness of results obtained from wavelet analysis. Our findings support the dynamic nature of efficiency, characteristics of stock prices in PIIGS economies. Portugal and Greece show long-range dependence properties, whereas Ireland and Italy are weakly inclined towards mean reversion and Spain shows martingale behavior in its stock price.

Structure of Wavelet Covariance Matrices and Bayesian Wavelet Estimation of Autoregressive Moving Average Model with Long Memory Parameter’s
In the process of exploring and recognizing of statistical communities, the analysis of data obtained from these communities is considered essential. One of appropriate methods for data analysis is the structural study of the function fitting by these data. Wavelet transformation is one of the most powerful tool in analysis of these functions and structure of wavelet coefficients are very impor...

This research aims to introduce an ideal model for forecasting Iranian crude oil price movements. It tries to make an all-out analysis of this energy product. Therefore, we tested the ‘predictability’ hypothesis by using the variance ratio test, BDS test and the chaos series test. Later, a structural analysis is a carried out to investigate possible nonlinear patterns in the series. Lyapunov ex...

The characterization of memory effects in crude oil markets is an interesting issue that has attracted the attention of researchers from different disciplines, from econophysics to more classical economics. The importance of the problem relies in the fact that the departure from uncorrelated behavior would imply the presence of not-random effects which, in principle, can be exploited for arbitr...

Abstract T he financial crisis in 2007-2008 has turned into the most far-reaching international financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. Indeed, the crisis-affected Asian countries experienced varying degrees of changes in the exchange rate and prices following an initial shock of sharp depreciation of their currencies in the second half of 1997. Moreover,...
