The results indicate that jump diffusion models fit the data better than pure diffusion models. Possible sources and linkages of information surprises in emerging stock and bond markets are also investigated. Bond and stock returns of the same country exhibit simultaneous jumps, indicating a possible linkage of the two markets. U.S. equity returns respond to jumps in emerging bond markets but not to jumps in emerging stock markets Keywords : emerging markets; ARCH; jump diffusion; information surprises; distribution characteristics View in Bib TeX Format View Cite Format 1 View Cite Format 2 |
