Abstract
We study the economic sources of stock-bond return comovement and its time variation using a dynamic factor model. We identify the economic factors employing structural and non-structural vector autoregressive models for economic state variables such as interest rates, (expected) inflation, output growth and dividend payouts. We also view risk aversion, and uncertainty about inflation and output as additional potential factors. Even the best-fitting economic factor model fits the dynamics of stock-bond return correlations poorly. Alternative factors, such as liquidity proxies, help explain the residual correlations not explained by the economic models.

Globalization and Asset Returns

TL;DR: The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of economic and financial globalization on asset return comovements over the past 35 years and find weak evidence of comovement measures reacting to globalization and often find other economic factors to be equally or more important determinants.

The Equity Fear Premium and Daily Comovements of the S&P 500 E/P Ratio and Treasury Yields Before and During the 2007 Financial Crisis

TL;DR: This article introduced a new risk measure called the Total Fear Premium that accounts for flight-to-safety and flightto-liquidity behavior, which mimics the VIX during the financial crisis.

Correlation between Individual Stock and Corporate Bond Returns

TL;DR: In this article, the correlations between individual bond and stock returns issued by the same firm using Trading Reporting and Compliance Engine prices were analyzed using panel data to analyze the determinants of the variation in estimated dynamic correlations using macroeconomic cycle indicators, firm risk measures and specific bond characteristics.

Efectos de propagación de los mercados financieros estadounidenses en los colombianos

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of shocks originated in the US financial markets on the major Colombian financial markets during the period 2003-2015 were analyzed and quantified using a structural VAR model that uses the heteroskedasticity existing in the data to achieve the identification and estimation of the financial transmission coefficients.

A Heteroskedasticity-Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator and a Direct Test for Heteroskedasticity

Halbert White
- 01 May 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a parameter covariance matrix estimator which is consistent even when the disturbances of a linear regression model are heteroskedastic is presented, which does not depend on a formal model of the structure of the heteroSkewedness.

A New Approach to the Economic Analysis of Nonstationary Time Series and the Business Cycle.

James D. Hamilton
- 01 Mar 1989 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the parameters of an autoregression are viewed as the outcome of a discrete-state Markov process, and an algorithm for drawing such probabilistic inference in the form of a nonlinear iterative filter is presented.

Dynamic Conditional Correlation: A Simple Class of Multivariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity Models

TL;DR: In this article, a new class of multivariate models called dynamic conditional correlation models is proposed, which have the flexibility of univariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models coupled with parsimonious parametric models for the correlations.
