This paper employs cointegration tests to identify the impacts of sequential opens of global equity market among the equity indices. We use the daily data of 31 major equity markets and explore the comovement relationship according to the sequence of the market open. This study also examines the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis to such comovement relationship. Our results indicate that the markets in Europe-Middle East, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, are less affected by the levels of earlier opens of other markets. After the end of 2007, the global equity market comovement pattern changed significantly, yet the interdependence of markets was not unanimously strengthened. The size of an equity market does not dictate its range and power of impact, as we find that a large size market can still be cointegrated with small size markets, while a small size market is almost always cointegrated with large size markets.

Диверсификация - один из важнейших элементов в инвестиционной деятельности. Инвесторы пытаются найти баланс при формировании портфеля и его реструктуризации, стремясь одновременно максимизировать доходность и минимизировать риски. Целью данной работы является оценка возможности диверсификации портфеля облигаций российского рынка с помощью включения альтернативной традиционным облигациям формы - сукук в условиях пандемии COVID-19. Представленный в статье анализ такой возможности составляет определенный элемент новизны. В качестве наиболее подходящей модели для корреляционного анализ выбрана «DCC-MGARCH» модель (динамическая модель авторегрессионной условной гетероскедастичности). Результаты исследования показывают, что инвесторы, предпочитающие долговые суверенные ценные бумаги России и корпоративные облигации российских компаний, имеют возможность диверсифицировать портфель путем включения исламских облигаций. Данный вывод объясняется наличием отрицательной корреляционной связи между индексом сукук и индексами российских облигаций, как корпоративных, так и суверенных. Diversification is one of key elements in investment management. Investors strive to find a balance in the formation of a portfolio and its restructuring, simultaneously maximizing profitability and minimizing risks. The purpose of this work is to assess the possibility of diversification of the Russian bonds portfolioby including an alternative to traditional bonds-sukuk. The DCC-MGARCH model (Dynamic Conditional Correlation Multivariate General Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity Model) was chosen as the most suitable model for correlation analysis. The results of the study show that investors who prefer Russian sovereign debt securities or corporate bonds of Russian companies couldeffectively diversify their portfolio by including Islamic bonds during the COVID-19 pandemic. This conclusion is explained by the presence of a negative correlation between the Dow Jones Sukuk Index as a proxy for sukuk market and the indices of Russian bonds, both corporate and sovereign.

AbstractThis study aims to evaluate the monitoring and predictive value of web-based symptoms (fever, cough, dyspnea) searches for COVID-19 spread. Daily search interests from Turkey, Italy, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom were obtained from Google Trends (GT) between January 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020. In addition to conventional correlational models, we studied the time-varying correlation between GT search and new case reports; we used dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) and sliding windows correlation models. We found time-varying correlations between pulmonary symptoms on GT and new cases to be significant. The DCC model proved more powerful than the sliding windows correlation model. This model also provided better at time-varying correlations (r ≥ 0.90) during the first wave of the pandemic. We used a root means square error (RMSE) approach to attain symptom-specific shift days and showed that pulmonary symptom searches on GT should be shifted separately. Web-based search interest for pulmonary symptoms of COVID-19 is a reliable predictor of later reported cases for the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Illness-specific symptom search interest on GT can be used to alert the healthcare system to prepare and allocate resources needed ahead of time.
