Volatility spillovers and contagion from mature to emerging stock markets

TLDR
This article examined volatility spillovers from mature to emerging stock markets and tests for changes in the transmission mechanism - contagion - during turbulences in mature markets and found that mature markets influence conditional variances in many emerging markets.
Abstract
This paper examines volatility spillovers from mature to emerging stock markets and tests for changes in the transmission mechanism - contagion - during turbulences in mature markets. Tri-variate GARCH-BEKK models of returns in global (mature), regional, and local markets are estimated for 41 emerging market economies (EMEs), with a dummy capturing parameter shifts during turbulent episodes. LR tests suggest that mature markets influence conditional variances in many emerging markets. Moreover, spillover parameters change during turbulent episodes. Conditional variances in most EMEs rise during these episodes, but there is only limited evidence of shifts in conditional correlations between mature and emerging markets.

Reference Points and Effort Provision

TL;DR: The authors found that effort provision is significantly different between treatments in the way predicted by models of expectation-based reference-dependent preferences: if expectations are high, subjects work longer and earn more money than if expectations were low.

What Explains the Surge in Euro Area Sovereign Spreads During the Financial Crisis of 2007-09?

TL;DR: This paper used a dynamic panel approach to explain the determinants of widening sovereign bond yield spreads vis-a-vis Germany in selected euro area countries during the period end-July 2007 to end-March 2009, when the financial turmoil developed into a full-blown financial and economic crisis.

Liquidity Hoarding and Interbank Market Spreads: The Role of Counterparty Risk

TL;DR: A novel form of a market break-down is identified, which can lead to liquidity hoarding and is identified because adverse selection in the interbank market changes the opportunity cost of holding liquidity.

Dissatisfied with life, but having a good day: time-use and well-being of the unemployed

TL;DR: The authors applied the Day Reconstruction Method to compare unemployed and employed people with respect to their subjective assessment of emotional affects, differences in the composition and duration of activities during the course of a day, and their self-reported life satisfaction.

Harnessing Windfall Revenues: Optimal Policies for Resource-Rich Developing Economies†

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the permanent income hypothesis prescription of an everlasting increase in consumption financed by borrowing ahead of the windfall and then accumulating a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) is not optimal for capital-scarce developing economies.

Multivariate Simultaneous Generalized ARCH

TL;DR: In this paper, a new parameterization of the multivariate ARCH process is proposed and equivalence relations are discussed for the various ARCH parameterizations, and conditions suffcient to guarantee the positive deffniteness of the covariance matrices are developed.

Quasi-maximum likelihood estimation and inference in dynamic models with time-varying covariances

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator and related test statistics in dynamic models that jointly parameterize conditional means and conditional covariances, when a normal log-likelihood is maximized but the assumption of normality is violated.

No Contagion, Only Interdependence: Measuring Stock Market Comovements

TL;DR: The authors showed that correlation coefficients are conditional on market volatility, and that there was virtually no increase in unconditional correlation coefficients (i.e., no contagion) during the 1997 Asian crisis, 1994 Mexican devaluation, and 1987 U.S. market crash.

Measuring and Testing the Impact of News on Volatility

TL;DR: This paper defined the news impact curve which measures how new information is incorporated into volatility estimates and compared various ARCH models including a partially nonparametric one with daily Japanese stock return data.

No Contagion, Only Interdependence: Measuring Stock Market Co-Movements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined stock market co-movements and applied these concepts to test for stock market contagion during the 1997 East Asian crises, the 1994 Mexican peso collapse, and the 1987 U.S. stock market crash.
