Download Time-Varying Dependence in European Equity Markets Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In the light of the global financial crisis and sovereign debt crisis, this paper investigates the dependence patterns in 24 European equity markets from January 5, 2004 to July 1, 2016. We further examine whether these stressful events trigger contagion. Given that investors tend to behave irrationally in turmoil periods, we add to the literature by studying the effect of investor sentiment on markets correlations. Our results reveal heterogeneity in the time-varying dependence and across markets. Contagion is confirmed in turbulent times, a spillover effect from periphery euro area being detected. We find that similar sentiments increase correlations, especially in crises, suggesting that investors' perceptions are an important channel of moving markets in the same direction. Furthermore, negative sentiments, such as fear or pessimism, amplify the linkages between markets. Our results offer useful insights to policy makers for reacting timely to financial shocks and for designing a more integrated market.

Download The Euro and European Financial Market Dependence Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
We use, for the first time, a time-varying copula model to investigate the impact of the introduction of the Euro on the dependence between seventeen European stock markets during the period 1994-2003. The model is implemented with a GJR-GARCH-t model for the marginal distributions and the Gaussian copula for the joint distribution, which allows capturing time-varying, non-linear relationships and offers significant advantages over other econometric techniques in analyzing the co-movement of financial time-series. The results show that, within the Euro area, market dependence increased after the introduction of the common currency only for large equity markets, such as in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, while transaction costs remain important barriers to investment in and thus stronger co-movement of smaller markets. Structural break tests indicate that the increase in financial market dependence started around the beginning of 1998 when Euro membership was determined and the relevant information was announced. We also estimate time-varying dependence measures for non-Euro European countries with the Euro-zone equity market. The UK and Sweden, but not other countries outside the Euro area, are found to exhibit an increase in equity market co-movement, which is consistent with the interpretation that these countries may be expected to join the Euro in the future.

Download Volatility Spillover Effects in European Equity Markets Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper investigates to what extent globalization and regional integration lead to increasing equity market interdependence. I focus on the case of Western Europe, as this region has gone through a unique period of economic, financial, and monetary integration. More specifically, I quantify the magnitude and time-varying nature of volatility spillovers from the aggregate European (EU) and US market to 13 local European equity markets. To account for time-varying integration, I allow the shock sensitivities to change through time by means of a regime-switching model. I find that these regime switches are both statistically and economically important. While both the EU and US shock spillover intensity has increased over the 1980s and 1990s, the rise is more pronounced for EU spillovers. In most countries, shock spillover intensities increased most strongly in the second half of 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. Increased trade integration, equity market development, and low inflation are shown to have contributed to the increase in EU shock spillover intensity. Finally, I find some evidence for contagion from the US market to a number of local European equity markets during periods of high world market volatility. Keywords: Volatility Spillovers, Regime Switching, Contagion, EMU, Financial Integration.

Download European Equity Market Contagion Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper examines the time-varying conditional correlations of daily European equity market returns during the Irish sovereign debt crisis. A dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) multivariate GARCH model is used to estimate to what extent the collapse of Irish equity markets and subsequent Troika intervention in Ireland spilled over upon European equity markets during this crisis. During the Irish financial crisis from 2007 to 2010, strong contagion effects are uncovered between Irish equity markets and the eleven investigated European equity markets. The contagion effects are found to ease dramatically in the period after Troika intervention in Irish finances. This result supports bailouts and external financial intervention as a mechanism to mitigate and absorb contagion associated with state-specific financial crises and if possible, should be considered as a primary response function in future cases.

Download Financial Market Dynamics in an Enlarged European Union Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper provides evidence of integration in European equity and bond markets over the period January 2, 1997 to October 1, 2006. Our focus is to examine time-varying correlation dynamics in Euro-area, Central European (CE) and Balkans financial markets, modifying the asymmetric generalized dynamic conditional correlation (AG-DCC) model developed by Cappiello, Engle and Sheppard (Journal of Financial Econometrics, 2006). Using structural breaks, we identify the optimal time decay where financial markets share highest comovement. The results show an increase in the level of dependence during the period of the internet bubble collapse (2000), the Balkans countries start formally discussions to join EU (2000), the introduction of Euro banknotes and coins (2002) and the entry of CE countries in European Union (2004). The CE European and Balkans countries become gradually more integrated with the EMU countries, which is consistent with the interpretation that these countries may be expected to join the Euro in the future.

Download Dependence Between Croatian and European Stock Markets - A Copula GARCH Approach Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The objective of this paper is to analyze dependence structure between the returns of Croatian and five European stock markets (Austrian, French, German, Italian, and the U.K.'s). We propose a copula GARCH approach, where the return series are modeled as univariate GARCH processes and the dependence structure between the return series is defined by a copula function. Four different copulas are fitted - a constant and conditional normal and symmetric Joe-Clayton (SJC) copulas - and estimated by a semi-parametric method. We found that the timevarying normal copula yields the best fit for CROBEX-CAC40, CROBEX-DAX, and CROBEX-FTSE-MIB stock indices pairs, while the time-varying SJC copula is the best fit for CROBEX-ATX and CROBEX-FTSE100. Further, we found that the probability of simultaneous extreme positive and negative returns in Croatian and other European stock markets can increase to 0.77 during turbulent times. The lower and upper tail dependence dynamics between Croatian and other European stock markets is similar in pattern, differing only in scale. The basic conclusion of the research is that the dependence between the stock markets of Croatia and five major European stock markets is dynamic and can be properly captured by either a dynamic normal or symmetrized Joe-Clayton copula GARCH models.

Download Dependence in Credit Default Swap and Equity Markets Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Theoretical credit risk models a la Merton (1974) predict a non-linear negative link between a firm's default likelihood and asset value. This motivates us to propose a flexible empirical Markov-switching bivariate copula that allows for distinct time-varying dependence between credit default swap (CDS) spreads and equity prices in “crisis” and “tranquil” periods. The model identifies high dependence regimes that coincide with the recent credit crunch and the European sovereign debt crises, and is supported by in-sample goodness of fit criteria versus nested copula models that impose within-regime constant dependence or no regime-switching. Value at Risk forecasts to set day-ahead trading limits for hedging CDS-equity portfolios reveal the economic relevance of the model from the viewpoint of both regulatory and asymmetric piecewise linear loss functions.

Download Analysis of Correlations of European Equity Markets Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This thesis provides an analysis of correlations among 23 European equity markets during the period from 2002 to 2011. Given that the correlations among European markets are generally increasing, the primary goal of the analysis is to find diversification opportunities in terms of low correlations. When the correlations are assessed, emphasis is put on countries' level of development and whether they are members of the EU, eurozone or of neither of them. The results show, that although the emerging markets are becoming more correlated among themselves and also with the developed markets, they still provide substantial diversification opportunities. On the other hand, no clear link between country's correlations with other markets and its membership in EU or eurozone was identified. The European markets, which have been the least correlated with all other markets are Croatia, Estonia and Slovenia among the emerging markets and Greece among the developed markets. The correlations were estimated by applying the exponentially weighted moving average estimator. The decay factor, key element of the estimator, was estimated specifically for the dataset, which enables forecasting of European equity market correlations.
