This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical Studies on Volatility in International Stock Markets describes the existing techniques for the measurement and estimation of volatility in international stock markets with emphasis on the SV model and its empirical application. Eugenie Hol develops various extensions of the SV model, which allow for additional variables in both the mean and the variance equation. In addition, the forecasting performance of SV models is compared not only to that of the well-established GARCH model but also to implied volatility and so-called realised volatility models which are based on intraday volatility measures. The intended readers are financial professionals who seek to obtain more accurate volatility forecasts and wish to gain insight about state-of-the-art volatility modelling techniques and their empirical value, and academic researchers and students who are interested in financial market volatility and want to obtain an updated overview of the various methods available in this area.

Book excerpt: Business investment is concerned with the provision of funds for investment in business enterprise, an investor must offer whatever is invested in this way, and this means that the investor must sacrifice consumption and save to offer the funds. Savers and the users of their funds come jointly in the market for investment, where the normal rules of supply and demand apply unless there is government interfering with interest rates. The cost of money is the rate of interest rewarded for the use. If the demand for investment funds is greater than the funds offered for investment by savers, then the rate of interest will increase until people in the market are induced to sacrifice consumption and make their reserves available for investment.

This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an exploration of the global market dynamics, their intrinsic natures, common trends and dynamic interlinkages during the stock market crises over the last twelve years. The study isolates different phases of crisis and differentiates between any crisis that remains confined to the region and those that take up a global dimension. The latent structure of the global stock market, the inter-regional and intra-regional stock market dynamics around the crises are analyzed to get a complete picture of the structure of the global stock market. The study further probing into the inherent nature of the global stock market in generating crisis finds the global market to be chaotic thus making the system intrinsically unstable or at best to follow knife-edge stability. The findings have significant bearing at theoretical level and on policy decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The findings of this book are based on legal aspects of the majority of the world jurisdictions, and the majority of the existing and new introduced practices to the world stock markets including the role of international commissions, and organizations in this regards. Examination of the stock market efficiency and stability presented in the sixth and seventh chapters is built on empirical investigations, opinions surveys of stock markets experts, and state of arts of the related empirical studies, official reports, and suggested recommendations and best practices. Finally, this book is an attempt to help prevent the next stock market crisis, or to understand how to deal with, in order to shorten the period of declining, shorting the period of recovering, and to reduce the effect of irrational trading during unstable trading.
Download or read book Financial Market Volatility and the Implications for Market Regulation written by Louis O. Scott and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1990-11-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volatility in financial markets has forced economists to reexamine the validity of the efficient markets hypothesis, and new empirical approaches have been applied to the study of this important issue in recent years. Many of the recent studies have found evidence of excessive volatility. In the aftermath of the stock market crash of 1987 and the perceived increase in market volatility, some economists have advocated additional market regulations. Are these proposed regulations necessary and would they serve to reduce market volatility? This paper presents a review of recent studies on financial market volatility and examines the proposed regulations.
Download or read book Volatility and Openness of Emerging Markets written by Vincent J. Hooper and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides some empirical evidence on the relationship between the volatility and quot;opennessquot; of emerging stock markets (ESMs). The primary null hypothesis of this research is that volatility is not correlated with openness. The study uses a factor analysis to condense the number of quot;opennessquot; attributes to a smaller number of dimensions. Volatility, as measured by the standard deviation of returns on the emerging stock market indices over an ex post five year period is regressed against the factors. The findings of this research indicate that the volatility of emerging markets is positively correlated with the degree of openness. The results have relevant policy implications for both governments of developing countries who should be aware of the relationship between volatility and openness, and the international investor.

Download or read book International Mutual Funds Capital Flow Volatility and Contagion A Survey written by Mr.R. Gelos and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining a better understanding of the behavior of international investors is key for informing the debate about the optimal response to capital flows and about reforms to the international financial architecture. In this context, recent research on the behavior of international mutual funds at the micro level has expanded our knowledge about the drivers of portfolio flows and the mechanisms behind the transmission of financial shocks across countries. This paper provides a brief survey of this literature, with a focus on the empirical evidence for emerging markets. Overall, the behavior of international mutual funds is complex and overly simplistic characterizations are misleading. However, there is broad-based evidence for momentum trading among funds. Moreover, funds tend to avoid opaque markets and assets, and this behavior becomes more pronounced during volatile times. Portfolio rebalancing mechanisms are clearly important in explaining contagion patterns, even in the absence of common macroeconomic fundamentals. From a surveillance point of view, this implies that monitoring the exposures of large investors at a micro level is crucial to assess vulnerabilities.

Download or read book Financial and Macroeconomic Connectedness written by Francis X. Diebold and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connections among different assets, asset classes, portfolios, and the stocks of individual institutions are critical in examining financial markets. Interest in financial markets implies interest in underlying macroeconomic fundamentals. In Financial and Macroeconomic Connectedness, Frank Diebold and Kamil Yilmaz propose a simple framework for defining, measuring, and monitoring connectedness, which is central to finance and macroeconomics. These measures of connectedness are theoretically rigorous yet empirically relevant. The approach to connectedness proposed by the authors is intimately related to the familiar econometric notion of variance decomposition. The full set of variance decompositions from vector auto-regressions produces the core of the 'connectedness table.' The connectedness table makes clear how one can begin with the most disaggregated pair-wise directional connectedness measures and aggregate them in various ways to obtain total connectedness measures. The authors also show that variance decompositions define weighted, directed networks, so that these proposed connectedness measures are intimately related to key measures of connectedness used in the network literature. After describing their methods in the first part of the book, the authors proceed to characterize daily return and volatility connectedness across major asset (stock, bond, foreign exchange and commodity) markets as well as the financial institutions within the U.S. and across countries since late 1990s. These specific measures of volatility connectedness show that stock markets played a critical role in spreading the volatility shocks from the U.S. to other countries. Furthermore, while the return connectedness across stock markets increased gradually over time the volatility connectedness measures were subject to significant jumps during major crisis events. This book examines not only financial connectedness, but also real fundamental connectedness. In particular, the authors show that global business cycle connectedness is economically significant and time-varying, that the U.S. has disproportionately high connectedness to others, and that pairwise country connectedness is inversely related to bilateral trade surpluses.
Download or read book The Volatility In Financial Markets During The Covid 19 Pandemic written by Niklas Humann and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1.3, University of Münster, language: English, abstract: The objective of this essay is to investigate the effects of Covid-19 on the volatility of individual asset markets as well as the correlation between those markets using the Dynamic Conditional Correlation GARCH methodology developed by Engle (2002). The investigated assets are the major world equity indices as well as oil, gold, and bitcoin. I have found significant volatility clustering over the entire spectrum of assets, as well as increases in the correlation between assets during the initial phase of the pandemic. Furthermore, gold and bitcoin are shown to exhibit relatively low correlations with the investigated equity markets and may hence act as important components of a robust portfolio during turbulent times. While no direct effect of Covid-19 related policy variables on the returns could be established for all assets, the results indicate that the response of financial markets was immediate and not dependent on the national exposure to the pandemic itself. Finally, all markets are shown to recover within a reasonably short time span.
