The analysis of causality among oil prices and, in general, between financial and economic variables is central relevance applied studies. recent contribution Lu et al. (2014) proposes a new test, the DCC-MGARCH Hong test. We show that critical values test statistic should be evaluated through simulations to avoid potential Type I errors. also note rolling tests represent more viable solution p...

Volatility and investor sentiment have been factors for the slow adoption rate of Bitcoin (BTC) that was first recognized in 2008 as a potential store value, investment vehicle hedge alternative to gold during recession. The purpose this applied mathematics study will use multivariate DCC GARCH model. holds its ground volatility. This examines an well major stock index. To perform research expl...

We analyse the determinants of stock market integration among EU member states for the period 1999–2007. First, we apply bivariate DCC-MGARCH models to extract dynamic conditional correlations between European stock markets, which are then explained by interest rate spreads, exchange rate risk, market capitalisation, and business cycle synchronisation in a pooled OLS model. By grouping the coun...

We investigate conditional correlations between six CEEC-3 financial markets estimated by DCC-MGARCH models. In general, the highest correlations exist between Hungary and Poland in foreign exchange and stock markets. Short-term money markets are rather isolated from each other. We find that the associations of CEEC-3 exchange rates versus the euro are weaker than those versus the US dollar. Th...

This paper examines hedging effectiveness in Greek stock index futures market. We focus on various techniques to estimate variance reduction from constant and time-varying hedge ratios. For both available stock index futures contracts of the Athens Derivatives Exchange (ADEX), we employ a variety of models to derive and estimate the effectiveness of hedging. We measure hedging effectiveness usi...

We study two issues: (i) the relationship between interest rates on US and Colombian sovereign debt and (ii) the short-term response of the Colombian longterm bond yield and other asset prices to shocks to the US long-term Treasury rate. We use daily data between 2004 and 2013. Separating the period into three intervals (before, during and after the financial crisis), we consider the first issu...

Global crises have created unprecedented challenges for communities and economies across the world, triggering turmoil in global finance economy. This study adopts dynamic conditional correlation multiple generalized autoregressive heteroskedasticity (DCC–MGARCH) model to explore contagion effects financial markets crisis. The main findings are as follows: (1) crisis COVID-19 pandemic intensifi...
