基于HAR—RV模型的中国证券市场异质性研究

随着高频数据可以越来越方便的获得,过去的ARCH模型及GARCH模型已经不能满足高频数据研究的需要。相比于模型波动率,已实现波动率能够更直接、准确地描述波动率的特征。研究表明,已实现波动率具有长记忆特性,其解释之一即为异质市场假说,即市场中存在异质交易者。文章选取了HAR—Rv模型对已实现波动率进行建模,并且通过回归分析,证明了我国股票市场交易者存在异质性。     

中国商品期货市场的假日效应研究——基于收益和波动的视角

为研究中国商品期货市场假日效应的存在性及其特征,本文从收益和波动出发,在构建学生分布随机波动模型的基础上采用贝叶斯MCMC模拟技术对中国铜、铝、橡胶、大豆、豆粕和小麦期货市场的假日效应进行了实证分析,研究结果显示:假日前和假日后信息对商品期货交易收益及其波动均具有显著的影响,对不同交易品种而言,其影响方向及影响程度均存在一定差异;更具体地,对各类假日分别进行分析发现,元旦、春节、劳动节和国庆节的假日前和假日后信息对商品期货收益及其波动均具有显著的影响,且比分类之前假日前和假日后信息的影响能力明显增强,其个性特征也更加突出。     

特质风险能够被定价吗？——基于“特质波动之谜”现象的文献评述

传统的资产定价理论认为特质风险不应被定价,即便无法完全分散掉,与股票收益也应是对应权衡关系。但AHXZ（2006,2009）发现的＂特质波动之谜＂现象对标准金融学理论再次提出严峻的挑战,也使得公司特质风险定价行为逐渐成为金融经济学研究的新兴领域。本文从特质风险的测度、＂特质波动之谜＂现象的实证检验、异质性现象的形成机理三个方面进行研究综述,并提出进一步的研究展望,从而为今后研究提供借鉴和参考之用。     

我国黄金期货市场价格波动研究

以上海期货交易所2008年1月9日至2011年6月30日的黄金期货市场量价关系为研究对象,构建了GARCH(异方差)族模型检验我国黄金期货市场的价格波动特征.研究结果表明,当分别引入黄金期货市场的交易量和持仓量时,交易量对价格波动的影响在当期和滞后期均十分显著,而持仓量对价格波动的影响在当期显著,滞后期则不显著;当同时引入黄金期货市场交易量和持仓量时,他们对价格波动的解释作用增加,且当期统计检验显著,滞后期效应则不明显.     

基于CARR模型和GARCH模型的股市波动性预测研究

金融资产波动性建模和预测是金融理论与实践中的一个重要课题,已经有了许多建模与预测方法。本文利用我国股市的高频数据进行实证研究,分别运用CARP,模型和GARCH模型进行波动性预测,进而对两个模型的预测能力进行对比,结果表明：CARP,模型在波动性预测方面比GARCH模型的效果更好。     

Impacts of Market Reform on Spatial Volatility of Maize Prices in Tanzania

Maize is one of the major staples and cash crops for many Tanzanians. Excessive volatility of maize prices destabilises farm income in maize‐growing regions and is likely to jeopardise nutrition and investment in many poor rural communities. This study investigates whether market reform policies in Tanzania have increased the volatility of maize prices, and identifies regional characteristics that can be attributed to the spatial price volatility. To achieve the objectives, an autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity in mean (ARCH‐M) model is developed and estimated in this study. Results show that the reforms have increased farm‐gate prices and overall price volatility. Maize prices are lower in surplus and less developed regions than those in deficit and developed regions. Results also show that the developed and maize‐deficit regions, and regions bordering other countries have experienced less volatile prices than less developed, maize‐surplus and non‐bordering regions. Our findings indicate that investments in communication and transportation infrastructures from government and donor countries are likely to increase inter‐regional and international trade, thereby reducing the spatial price volatility in Tanzanian maize prices in the long run.     

Price and Volatility Transmission and Market Power in the German Fresh Pork Supply Chain

We investigate the relationship between the transmission of price volatility and market power in the German fresh pork supply chain. We use a theoretical model underpinning this relationship followed by an empirical application that uses monthly farm, slaughterhouse and retail pork price data for the period 2000–2011. We examine both the relationships of market power with price level transmission and price volatility transmission in the chain. We use a vector error correction model and least squares regressions to analyse price transmission and price volatility transmissions, respectively. Results show that retail market power limited both types of transmissions. Competition inducing policy measures coupled with measures that support price risk management initiatives of chain actors are suggested.     

城市经营者还是市场监管者？——市场波动下地方政府土地供给非对称行为研究

研究目的:分析市场监管激励对于地方政府土地供给决策的影响。研究方法:通过建立模型对市场监管激励的影响机制进行理论分析,并基于2004—2014年中国30个省的面板数据构建门限模型进行实证检验。研究结果:地方政府的土地供给决策同时受到经济绩效和市场监管双重激励的影响,在不同的市场波动下存在非对称性:在市场较平稳时,地方政府会通过减少土地供给、提升土地价格实现其经济绩效目标;而在市场波动较大时,地方政府则会兼顾"市场监管者"的职责,通过增加土地有效供应、维持土地价格实现其经济绩效目标。研究结论:市场监管激励在地方政府的土地供给决策机制中具有显著作用,可以通过加强政绩考核中市场监管的权重来规范地方政府的土地供给行为。     

The Tunisia Wheat Market in the Context of World Price Volatility: A Stochastic Partial Equilibrium Approach

Food security is a key objective of agricultural and food policy in Tunisia. The 2007–2008 food crisis highlighted the negative impacts of price volatility on international markets both in terms of food insecurity and budget exposure. Tunisian food subsidy expenditures ranged from $180 million to $710 million in 2006–2010, so volatile world prices meant volatile subsidy costs. Moreover, cereal production in Tunisia still has much instability due to climate conditions, which also influences imports and, consequently, subsidy expenditures. This study applies a structural model to conduct stochastic analyses of trade and policy impacts on food security and budget expenditures in the Tunisian wheat market. The methodology disaggregates durum wheat and soft wheat markets and generates projections of import prices of durum wheat and soft wheat, using projections of world prices provided by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute at University of Missouri (FAPRI-MU). The key innovation is the generated stochastic analyses of subsidy costs based on stochastic world price projections and stochastic domestic wheat yields based on historic yield variances. The analysis highlights the sensitivity of subsidy costs to world prices, volumes imported and domestic production, so that alternative policy tools can be considered.     

Spillovers in Exchange Rates and the Effects of Global Shocks on Emerging Market Currencies

This paper provides an investigation into the spillover effects of exchange rate returns and volatility for developed and emerging market currencies, using data from 1997 to 2011. The results suggest that spillovers in exchange rate returns have increased steadily over time, in moderate reaction to economic events. In contrast, spillovers in total observed volatility (measured by squared returns) react more strongly to economic events, and this transmission has remained at a relatively high level since the global financial crisis. Furthermore, over the course of time, global shocks would appear to account for a larger proportion of aggregate exchange rate volatility (and the relative importance of domestic shocks has declined). The paper also considers whether the increase in volatility spillover is due to sudden shocks, or whether it is due to changes in the stochastic trend of the underlying volatility process. The results suggests that in most cases, this increase is due to sudden shocks, however, in certain instances country‐specific events may perpetuate changes to the trend of the underlying volatility spillover.
