Article history: Received 10 April 2006 Received in revised form 4 August 2009 Accepted 20 August 2009 Available online 28 August 2009 This paper uses both linear and nonlinear causality tests to reexamine the causal relationship between the returns on large and small firms. Consistent with previous results, we find that large firms linearly lead small firms. We also find a significant linear c...

In the empirical analysis of nancial time series, multivariate GARCH models have been used in various forms. In most cases it is not well understood how the use of a restricted model has to be paid with loss of valuable information. We investigate the structural implications of the alternative models for the response of the conditional (co{)variances to independent shocks. The impulse response ...

The purpose of the paper is to discuss ten things potential users should know about the limits of the Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC) representation for estimating and forecasting time-varying conditional correlations. The reasons given for caution about the use of DCC include the following: DCC represents the dynamic conditional covariances of the standardized residuals, and hence does n...

In this paper, we investigate cross-correlations between nonferrousmetal spot and futures markets using detrended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA). We find the existence of significant cross-correlations for both return and volatility series. The DCCA-based crosscorrelation coefficients are very high and decrease with the futures maturity increases. Using the multifractal extension of DCCA, th...

This paper investigates how China’s stock market reforms have affected the stock market linkages between China and Korea, Japan and the US respectively. We firstly use a 4 × 4 asymmetric GARCH-BEKK model and a series of likelihood ratio tests to uncover China’s regional and global linkages between 1992 and 2010 and during three sub-periods representing the stages of the Chinese reforms. The res...

This study examines intraday relationships among the spot index, index futures, and the implied volatility index based on the VAR(1)-asymmetric BEKK-MGARCH model. Analysis of a high-frequency dataset from theKorean financialmarket confirms that there is a strong intraday market linkage between the spot index, KOSPI200 futures, and VKOSPI and that asymmetric volatility behaviour is clearly prese...
