Purpose This paper aims to analyse the volatility of the fixed income market from 11 countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, USA, Germany and Japan) from January 2000 to December 2011 by examining the interbank interest rates from each market. Design/methodology/approach To the volatility of interest rates returns, the study used models of auto-regressive conditional heteroscedasticity, autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH), generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH), exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (EGARCH), threshold generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (TGARCH) and periodic generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (PGARCH), and a combination of these with autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models, checking which of these processes were more efficient in capturing volatility of interest rates of each of the sample countries. Findings The results suggest that for most markets, studied volatility is best modelled by asymmetric GARCH processes – in this case the EGARCH – demonstrating that bad news leads to a higher increase in the volatility of these markets than good news. In addition, the causes of increased volatility seem to be more associated with events occurring internally in each country, as changes in macroeconomic policies, than the overall external events. Originality/value It is expected that this study has contributed to a better understanding of the volatility of interest rates and the main factors affecting this market.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the volatility and return spillover between exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and their respective benchmark indices in India. The paper uses time series data which consist of equity ETF and respective index returns. Design/methodology/approach The study uses autoregressive moving average–generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity and autoregressive moving average–exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity models. The study uses data from the inception date of each ETF to December 2016. Findings The findings of the paper confirm that there is unidirectional return spillover from the benchmark index to ETF returns in most of the ETFs. Furthermore, ETF and benchmark index return have volatility persistence and show the presence of asymmetric volatility wherein a negative news has more influence on volatility compared to a positive news. Finally, unlike unidirectional return spillover, there is a bidirectional volatility spillover between ETF and benchmark index return. Practical implications The study has several practical implications for investors and regulators. A positive daily mean return over a fairly long period of time indicates that the passive equity ETFs can be a viable long-term investment option for ordinary investors. A bidirectional volatility spillover between the ETFs and benchmark index returns calls for the attention of the market regulators to examine the reasons for the same. Originality/value ETFs have seen fast growth in the Indian market in recent years. The present study considers the longest period data possible.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess to what extent intraday data can explain and predict long-term memory. Design/methodology/approach This article analysed the presence of long-memory volatility in five Asian equity indices, namely, SENSEX, CNIA, NIKKEI225, KO11 and FTSTI, using five-min intraday return series from 05 January 2015 to 06 August 2015 using two approaches, i.e. conditional volatility and realized volatility, for forecasting long-term memory. It employs conditional-generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH), i.e. autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA)-FIGARCH model and ARFIMA-asymmetric power autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (APARCH) models, and unconditional volatility realized volatility using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and ARFIMA in-sample forecasting models to estimate the persistence of the long-term memory. Findings Given the GARCH framework, the ARFIMA-APARCH long-memory model gave the better forecast results signifying the importance of accounting for asymmetric information when modelling volatility in a financial market. Using the unconditional realized volatility results from the Singapore and Indian markets, the ARIMA model outperforms the ARFIMA model in terms of forecast performance and provides reasonable forecasts. Practical implications The issue of long memory has important implications for the theory and practice of finance. It is well-known that accurate volatility forecasts are important in a variety of settings including option and other derivatives pricing, portfolio and risk management. Social implications It could be said that using long-memory augmented models would give better results to investors so that they could analyse the market trends in returns and volatility in a more accurate manner and reach at an informed decision. This is useful to minimize the risks. Originality/value This research enhances the literature by estimating the influence of intraday variables on daily volatility. This is one of very few studies that uses conditional GARCH framework models and unconditional realized volatility estimates for forecasting long-term memory. The authors find that the methods complement each other.

Dalam berinvestasi para investor menggunakan alat statistik salah satunya adalah peramalan. Peramalan dilakukan oleh investor untuk memperlancar transaksi, meningkatkan keuntungan ataupun meminimalisir terjadinya kerugian. Dengan melakukan peramalan, investor diharapkan dapat membuat keputusan investasi yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui model peramalan yang akurat untuk meramalkan harga saham PT. Adaro Energy (ADRO) dan saham PT. Bukit Asam  (PTBA) periode data selama 10 tahun sejak Oktober 2008 sampai dengan Oktober 2018. Keterbaharuan dalam penelitian ini adalah membandingkan dua model Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) dan Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) sehingga dapat diketahui model yang memiliki tingkat keakuratan terbaik untuk meramalkan harga saham pada periode mendatang. Hasil dari penelitian ini menggambarkan bahwa terdapat unsur heterokedastisitas pada saham ADRO sehingga pemodelan tidak berhenti pada model ARIMA namun dilanjutkan sampai model GARCH. Sedangkan data saham PTBA tidak mengandung unsur heterokedastisitas sehingga pemodelan hanya sampai model ARIMA. Pada saham ADRO model ARIMA mempunyai tingkat kesalahan yang lebih kecil dibandingkan model GARCH. Pada saham PTBA model ARIMA juga terpilih sebagai model yang paling akurat. Kata Kunci: ARIMA, GARCH, dan Pertambangan

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the presence of a housing bubble using Swedish data from 1986Q1-2016Q4 by using various methods. Design/methodology/approach First, the authors use affordability indicators and asset-pricing approaches, including the price-to-income ratio, price-to-rent ratio and user cost, supplemented by a qualitative discussion of other factors affecting house prices. Second, the authors use cointegration techniques to compute the fundamental (or long-run) price, which is then compared with the actual price to test the degree of Sweden’s housing price bubble during the studied period. Third, they apply the univariate right-tailed unit root test procedure to capture bursting bubbles and to date-stamp bubbles. Findings The authors find evidence for rational housing bubbles with explosive behavioral components beginning in 2004. These bubbles do not continuously diverge but instead periodically revert to their fundamental value. However, the deviation is persistent, and without any policy correction, it takes decades for real house prices to return to equilibrium. Originality/value The policy implication is that monetary policy designed to contain mortgage demand and thereby prevent burst episodes in the housing market must address external imbalances, as revealed in real exchange rate undervaluation. It is unlikely that current policies will stop the rise of house prices, as the growth of mortgage credit, improvement in Sweden’s international competitiveness and the path of interest rates are much more important factors.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate factors affecting use of microcredit among farmers in Northern China. Design/methodology/approach A two-stage Heckman model is used to estimate the effect of farmer and family characteristics and loan and lending environment on likelihood of farmer participation in microcredit and the value of loans taken. Data from 342 first-hand observations in Northern China were used. Findings Social capital, production cost, non-labor family members, income, guarantee group membership, village head loan guarantee, and messenger use were found to increase use of microcredit. The same factors were found to affect the value of loans among participating farmers except a guarantor requirement for the loan replaces membership in a guarantee group. Practical implications Results support that there is demand for microcredit among farmers and that they are willing to take steps to obtain it including seeking membership in a household guarantee group. Identification of faced constraints facilitates understanding of supply-side efforts with potential to decrease financial exclusion with a focus on external-to-market intervention. Originality/value Pivotal findings are the importance of guarantee group membership for loan approval and that this requirement hinders farmers’ ability to obtain credit. Three alternatives are suggested to overcome this constraint including excluding low-risk borrowers from a group guarantee requirement; charging higher interest rates on high risk loans not supported by a guarantee; and development of insurance options to replace the guarantee.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the house prices in Finland share financial characteristics with assets such as stocks. The studied regions are 15 main regions in Finland over the period of 1988:Q1-2018:Q4. These regions are divided geographically into 45 cities and sub-areas according to their postcode numbers. The studied type of dwellings is apartments (block of flats) divided into one-room, two rooms and more than three rooms apartment types. Design/methodology/approach Both Ljung–Box and Lagrange multiplier tests are used to test for clustering effects (autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity effects). For cities and sub-areas with significant clustering effects, the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH)-in-mean model is used to determine the potential impact that the conditional variance may have on returns. Moreover, the exponential GARCH model is used to examine the possibility of asymmetric effects of shocks on house price volatility. For each apartment type, individual models are estimated; enabling different house price dynamics, and variation of signs and magnitude of different effects across cities and sub-areas. Findings Results reveal that clustering effects exist in over half of the cities and sub-areas in all studied types of apartments. Moreover, mixed results on the sign of the significant risk-return relationship are observed across cities and sub-areas in all three apartment types. Furthermore, the evidence of the asymmetric impact of shocks on housing volatility is noted in almost all the cities and sub-areas housing markets. These studied volatility properties are further found to differ across cities and sub-areas, and by apartment types. Research limitations/implications The existence of these volatility patterns has essential implications, such as investment decision-making and portfolio management. The study outcomes will be used in a forecasting procedure of the volatility dynamics of the studied types of dwellings. The quality of the data limits the analysis and the results of the study. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study that evaluates the volatility of the Finnish housing market in general, and by using data on both municipal and geographical level, particularly.

Abstract. The stock price index is the information the public needs to know the development of stock price movements. Stock price forecasting will provide a better basis for planning and decision making. The forecasting model that is often used to model financial and economic data is the Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA). However, this model can only be used for data with the assumption of stationarity to variance (homoscedasticity), therefore an additional model is needed that can model data with heteroscedasticity conditions, namely the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. This study uses data partitioning in pre-pandemic conditions and during the pandemic, Insample data with pre-pandemic conditions and insample data during pandemic conditions. Based on the research results, the GARCH model (1,1) was obtained with the conditions before the pandemic and GARCH (1,2) during the pandemic condition. The forecasting model obtained has met the eligibility requirements of the GARCH model. If the forecasting model fulfills the eligibility requirements, then MAPE calculations are performed to see the accuracy of the forecasting model. And obtained MAPE in the conditions before the pandemic and during the pandemic in the very good category. Abstrak. Indeks harga saham merupakan informasi yang diperlukan masyarakat untuk mengetahui perkembangan pergerakan harga saham. Peramalan harga saham akan memberikan dasar yang lebih baik bagi perencanaan dan pengambilan keputusan. Model peramalan yang sering digunakan untuk memodelkan data keuangan dan ekonomi adalah Autoregrresive Moving Average (ARMA). Namun model tersebut hanya dapat digunakan untuk data dengan asumsi stasioneritas terhadap varian (homoskedastisitas), oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu model tambahan yang bisa memodelkan data dengan kondisi heteroskedastisitas, yaitu model Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastisity (GARCH). Penelitian ini menggunakan partisi data pada kondisi sebelum pandemi dan saat pandemi berlangsung data Insample dengan kondisi sebelum pandemi dan insample pada kondisi pandemi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, maka didapat model GARCH (1,1) dengan kondisi sebelum pandemi dan GARCH (1,2) saat kondisi pandemi. Model peramalan yang didapat sudah memenuhi syarat kelayakan model GARCH. Apabila model peramalan terpenuhi syarat kelayakannya maka dilakukan perhitungan MAPE untuk melihat keakuratan model peramalannya. Dan diperoleh MAPE pada kondisi sebelum pandemi dan saat pandemi dengan kategori sangat baik.
