TLDR
In this paper, the authors define and test a form of market efficiency called market dexterity which requires that asset prices adjust instantaneously and completely in response to new information, and examine the impact of news in one market on the time path of volatility in other markets.Abstract:
This paper defines and tests a form of market efficiency called market dexterity which requires that asset prices adjust instantaneously and completely in response to new information. Examining the behavior of the yen/dollar exchange rate while each of the major markets are open it is possible to test for informational effects from one market to the next. Assuming that news has only country specific autocorrelation such as a heat wave. any intra-daily volatility spillovers (meteor showers) become evidence against market dexterity. ARCII models are employed to model heteroskedasticity across intra-daily market segments. Statistical tests lead to the rejection of the heat wave and therefore the market dexterity hypothesis. Using a volatility type of vector autoregression we examine the impact of news in one market on the time path of volatility in other markets.read more

Better to give than to receive: Predictive directional measurement of volatility spillovers
TL;DR: This paper used a generalized vector autoregressive framework to characterize daily volatility spillovers across US stock, bond, foreign exchange and commodities markets, from January 1999 to January 2010, and showed that despite significant volatility fluctuations in all four markets during the sample, cross-market volatility spillover were quite limited until the global financial crisis, which began in 2007.
