The integration of Eurodollar and U. S. money market interest rates in the futures market

Zusammenfassung Die Integration der Eurodollar-und US-Geldmarkts?tze auf dem Terminmarkt. —In diesem Aufsatz wird die Beziehung zwischen den Termins?tzen für Eurodollars, amerikanische Schatzwechsel und amerikanische verbriefte Termineinlagen untersucht. Dabei wird die Granger-Kausalit?t unter Verwendung der t?glichen Preis?nderungen für Kontrakte zum Juni, September und Dezember {dy1982} getestet. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, da\ sich die Preise auf den Terminm?rkten für Eurodollars und für amerikanische Geldmarktinstrumente gleichzeitig anpassen, ganz im Gegensatz zum Kassamarkt. Dieses unterschiedliche Verhalten beider M?rkte kann durch institutionelle Hindernisse (z. B. Restriktionen bei der Zulassung von Banken und hinsichtlich der Kapitalstr?me), strukturelle Besonderheiten der M?rkte (Mindestbetr?ge für Transaktionen und die Marktmacht einiger Banken) und/oder Transaktionskosten erkl?rt werden. Die Bildung von Terminm?rkten in den Vereinigten Staaten und in Gro\britannien k?nnte dazu beitragen, die Zahl der Marktteilnehmer auf den internationalen Geldm?rkten zu vergr?\ern und bisher bestehende Marktunvollkommenheiten zu verringern.

Résumé L’intégration des taux d’intérêt du marché monétaire des E.U. et d’Eurodollar sur les marchés à terme. —Cet article analyse la relation entre les opérations à terme d’Eurodollar, des bons du Trésor des E.U. et des certificats de dép?t sur des contrats à terme des banques locales des E.U. Les auteurs appliquent les procédures de causalité de Granger et utilisent les données sur les changements des prix quotidiens pour les opérations en Juin, Septembre et Décembre 1982. Ils conclurent que les prix des opérations à terme d’Eurodollar et d’instrument financier du marché monétaire des E.U. changent simultanément. Sur le marché au comptant, cependant, il y a une évidence répétée que des ajustements de prix ne sont pas simultanés. La conduite dissimilaire sur les deux marchés peut être expliquée par la présence des barrières institutionelles (par exemple des restrictions sur l’entrée des banques et sur les flux des capitaux), par des caractéristiques de la structure de marché (le volume minimum des transactions et le pouvoir de marché de quelques banques), et/ou des frais de transaction. L’établissement des marchés à terme dans les E.U. aussi bien que dans le R.U. peut contribuer à augmenter le nombre des participants sur les marchés monétaires internationaux et peut reduire des imperfections quelconques qui peut-être avaient existé dans le passé.

Resumen Integración de las tasas de interés de los mercados eurodólar y monetario de los EEUU a los mercados de futuro. —En este artículo se analiza la relación entre los contratos a futuro del eurodólar, valores del Tesoro de los EEUU y los C.D. de la banca doméstica norteamericana. Se utilizan los procedimientos de causalidad de Granger y los datos son los cambios diarios de precios para los contratos de junio, septiembre y diciembre de 1982. Este articulo concluye que la relación de los cambios de precios de los instrumentos financieros de contratos a futuro entre el eurodólar y el mercado monetario de los EEUU es contemporánea. En los mercados en efectivo, sin embargo, hay evidencia repetida que se producen ajustes de precios no-contemporáneos. El comportamiento disímil de ambos mercados se puede explicar por la presencia de barreras institucionales (p.ej. restricciones en la entrada de bancos y flujos de capitales), caracteres estructurales de mercado (tama?o mínimo de las transacciones y poder de mercado de algunos bancos), y/o costos de transacción. El establecimiento de mercados de futuro tanto en EEUU como en el Reino Unido podría servir para incrementar el número de participantes en los mercados monetarios internacionales y puede conducir a una reducción de cualquier imperfección de mercado que pueda haber existido en el pasado.

     

Intraday liquidity patterns in Indian stock market

This paper is an empirical study of the intraday liquidity patterns on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India. Using trade and quotes data on stocks contained in the NIFTY index, we find that most of the volume and spread related to liquidity measures are U-shaped, similar to those found in a quote driven market. Such patterns also indicate a contradictory feature of concurrent high trading volume and wide spreads, a feature that is new to an order driven market such as the NSE. Additionally, this paper also measures marketwise liquidity by checking for commonality among liquidity measures. Empirical results show that there is only weak evidence of commonality, suggesting sensitivity to commonality need not be a priced risk.     

The relationship between liquidity and returns on the Chinese stock market

The goal of this paper is to examine the impact of liquidity on returns on the Shanghai stock exchange (SHSE) and the Shenzhen stock exchange (SZSE). We proxy liquidity with the trading volume (TV), the turnover rate (TR), and the trading probability (TP). Using daily data for the period January 1997 and December 2003, we find mixed results on the relationship between liquidity and returns. There is greater evidence of liquidity having a negative effect on returns on the SHSE than on the SZSE. However, this evidence is not robust across the three proxies for liquidity that we use.

FX intervention in the Yen-US dollar market: a coordination channel perspective

The coordination channel has recently been established as an additional means by which foreign exchange market intervention may be effective. It is conjectured that strong and persistent misalignments of the exchange rate are caused by a coordination failure among fundamentals-based traders. In such situations official intervention may act as a coordinating signal, encouraging traders to engage in stabilizing speculation. We apply the framework developed in Reitz and Taylor (Eur Econ Rev 52(1), 55?C76 2008) to daily data on the yen-US dollar exchange rate and on Federal Reserve and Japanese Ministry of Finance intervention operations. The results provide further support for the coordination channel of intervention effectiveness.     

International linkages of the Japanese stock market

Using daily open-to-close and close-to-open stock prices, this paper examines whether there are any lead–lag relationships between the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the other G7 stock markets. In particular, this paper analyzes whether the movements of other markets in the preceding trading session can be used to formulate profitable strategies to trade in Nikkei.

Share liquidity, participation, and growth of the Boston market for industrial equities, 1854-1897

Financial economists have long believed that the liquidity of shares affects the level of participation in equity markets and is thus central to their deepening. This study examines the growth in industrial share liquidity that occurred in Boston over the latter half of the 19th century. From primary sources hitherto unused for scholarly investigations, namely the running annual worksheets of securities price fluctuations that underlie broker Joseph Martin’s volumes on the history of the Boston stock market, I construct broad-based indices of annual prices and returns for banking and industrial equities, as well as measures of real market capitalization. A series of vector autoregressive models then relate increases in liquidity, as measured by falling par values of industrial shares due to stock splits, write-downs and re-capitalizations, entries, and exits, to advances in prices and capitalizations among traded firms. The findings support the view that increases in participation were important for sustaining Boston as the nation’s leading industrial market until finally overtaken by New York sometime around 1900.

International equality of stock market returns

Real returns, excess returns, and nominal returns from stock markets in 11 developed countries are compared for the difference in their means and variances by using a new procedure to test their equality and to determine if one stock market dominates another. The sample period from January 1973 to September 1989 is divided into three subperiods. Results show that stock markets in the United States and Germany dominate those in the other countries in early sub-periods, but not in a recent sub-period, to indicate an increasing capital market integration. Integration with Germany has increased more than with the United States, due possibly to the European Monetary System.     

Rehabilitating the unloved dollar standard

The international dollar standard is an accident of history that greatly facilitates international trade and exchange. But erratic US monetary and financial policies have upset the American and world economies so as to make foreigners unhappy. A weak and falling dollar led to the great price inflations of the 1970s and to disastrous asset bubbles in the noughties. It aggravated the post‐War World's three great oil shocks. The asymmetrical nature of the dollar standard also makes many Americans unhappy because they cannot control their own exchange rate. Although nobody loves the dollar standard, it is a remarkably robust institution that is too valuable to lose and too difficult to replace. Rehabilitating the unloved dollar standard by ‘internationalising’ American monetary and financial policies to better stabilise the USA and world economies is the only way out of the current impasse.     

International drug procurement and market intelligence: Cuba

Cuba's experience during the last 20 years is reviewed as far as international procurement and market intelligence are concerned. The steps taken during that period, in order to provide the Cuban people with the most efficacious medicines at the lowest cost are enumerated and analysed. The paper then discusses several aspects of Cuban drug policy: for instance, promoting national production of drugs; converting active ingredients into pharmaceutical forms; promoting research and development and technological innovation; and establishing an adequate infrastracture, including specialized institutional structures, for the evaluation of technology transfer and development in order to meet the demands made by human beings and animals on the pharmaceutical industry. The article also discusses the functions of Medi-Cuba dealing both with foreign commerce and its role as a drug intelligence centre for the pharmaceutical industry and research establishment.     

The dollar in the turmoil

We study the impact of the global financial crisis on the equilibrium exchange rate of the US dollar. We first simulate the impact of the crisis on the US net foreign asset position. Then, we calculate the equilibrium value of the dollar according both to a BEER and to a FEER approach. We find the case for a strong, although temporary, depreciation of the dollar even more acute than before the crisis. This suggests that the strength of the dollar in late 2008 and early 2009 may be short-lived.     

International market interdependence and learning-by-doing in a risky world

International Market Interdependence and Learning-by-Doing in a Risky World. — This paper explores the role of international financial markets for the dynamic evolution of comparative advantage in a small economy. In a world where learning-by-doing alters labor’s productivity over time, the current allocation of labor across industries determines the future productivity of labor in each industry and future comparative advantage. The presence of technological uncertainty that is imperfectly correlated across two industries affects the current labor allocation and, thus, future industry-specific labor productivity. The introduction of international financial markets to this stochastic environment influences current resource allocations, future labor productivity, and consequently, the future path of comparative advantage.
