Several authors have examined the long swings hypothesis in exchange rates using a two-state Markov switching model. This study developed a model to investigate long swings hypothesis in currencies which may exhibit ak-state(k≥2)pattern. The proposed model was then applied to euros, British pounds, Japanese yen, and Nigerian naira. Specification measures such as AIC, BIC, and HIC favoured a three-state pattern in Nigerian naira but a two-state one in the other three currencies. For the period January 2004 to May 2016, empirical results suggested the presence of asymmetric swings in naira and yen and long swings in euros and pounds. In addition, taking0.5as the benchmark for smoothing probabilities, choice models provided a clear reading of the cycle in a manner that is consistent with the realities of the movements in corresponding exchange rate series.

Abstract This study examines the relationship between oil prices and exchange rate in Nigeria by viewing this relationship in another dimension which is the ability of exchange rate to move from one regime to the other. The period of investigation spanned the period 1980–2017. The regime switching characteristics of exchange rate were examined with the Markov Switching Model technique. The regime switching test suggests that there are two exchange rate regimes of managed float and fixed regimes. It was found that the probability of exchange rate to move from a managed float regime to a fixed regime was very low as compared to switching from fixed to managed float regimes. In fact, the expected duration of transitions is about 4 years for managed float but 9 years for fixed exchange rate regime. Both oil price and exchange rate move in opposite direction; despite the regime changes.

<p>The relationship between stock return and trading volume has been extensively documented by earlier studies. Financial academics unveiled some potential reasons of this phenomenon, but it still left for several inconclusive evidences. This paper employs the Markov switching model (MSM) to investigate the relationship. The results identify that second regime exist and persist, which is consistent with earlier study indicating that there are complex influences in stock return and trading volume. One possible explanation would be that people are not always rational; their financial decisions are influenced by behavioral biases. If people change their beliefs or preferences, then the regime switches. This leads to the conclusion that, the results are strongly in favor of a non-linear relation between stock return and trading volume. Also, it is interesting to find that industry play an important role. The deviations of the regime parameters are different across industries, which stands for risk-varying and is fit to the conventional wisdoms. This paper further tests the glamour (value) stock effect by the MSM; the result shows that the factor does affect the probabilities of the expected regime duration periods.</p>

The aim of this paper is to show that the estimates made with vector autoregressive–moving-average (ARMA) models based on the coherent time intervals of the multiple time series give more precise results than the univariate case. The previous literature on dynamic correlations (co-movement) in between food and energy prices has mixed results and mainly based on parametric approaches. Therefore, partial wavelet coherence (PWC) and multiple wavelet coherence (MWC) methods are used, respectively, to uncover the coherency simultaneously for time and frequency domains. In our study; world oil, corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar prices are examined instead of the return and volatility relationship between oil and agricultural commodities due to model-free approach of wavelet analysis.
