Abstract

Asia Asset Pricing, Trading Volume, Bond Interest Rates (G12) Economic Development: Financial Markets, Saving and Capital Investment, Corporate Finance and Governance (O16) Stock Market Stock Returns Stocks
This paper investigates the time-series behavior of stock returns for seven Asian stock markets. In most cases, higher average returns appear to be associated with a higher level of volatility. Testing the relationship between stock returns and unexpected volatility, the evidence shows that four out of seven Asian stock markets have significant results. Further analyzing the relationship between stock returns and time-varying volatility by using Threshold Autoregressive GARCH(1,1)-in-mean specification indicates that the null hypothesis of no asymmetric effect on the conditional volatility is rejected for the daily data. However, the null cannot be rejected for the monthly data.
