We examine the relationship between the trading activities of Korea Stock Price Index (KOSPI) 200 futures contract and its underlying stock market volatility for about six years from May 1996 when the futures contract was introduced. The trading activities of the futures contracts are proxied by the volume and open interest, which are divided into expected and unexpected portions by using the previous data. The daily, intradilay, and overnight cash volatility is estimated by the GJR-GARCH model. We find a positive contemporaneous relationship between the intradaily stock market volatility and the unexpected futures volume while the relationship between the volatility and expected futures volume is weakly negative or non-existent. We also find that the unexpected futures volume strongly causes intradaily cash volatility. On the other hand, the overnight cash volatility causes the unexpected futures volume. The impulse responses between these variables are all positive. The result implies that during a trading time futures trading tends to increase the cash volatility while the unexpected overnight changes in cash volatility tends to increase the futures trading activities. We, however, find no association between the cash volatility and futures maturities.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the effect of shift work on diurnal blood pressure (BP) pattern in nurses. Method: We studied 20 healthy nurses engaged in 3 shift work. 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring was performed to each nurse two times during the day and night shift. Five nurses were excluded because of inadequate BP measurement. Results: All subjects were female. The mean age was 27.4 years (range: 23-33 years) and mean body mass index was 19.7 Kg/$m^2$ (range: 18.0-21.2 Kg/$m^2$). The changes of systolic BP ($17.8{\pm}9.1$ vs. $13.2{\pm}4.7%$, p=0.031), diastolic BP ($22.3{\pm}8.7$ vs. $17.3{\pm}9.0%$, p=0.061), and heart rate ($25.2{\pm}5.2$ vs. $12.5{\pm}8.7%$, p=0.001) during the sleeping period were decreased after a night shift compared with day shift. The non-dipper group significantly increased from 20% to 40% after a night shift (p=0.018). Conclusion: Working night shift is significantly associated with non-dipper status in nurses.

This study investigated the information contents of KOSPI200 Options for intraday big market movement by using minute by minute data. The major findings are summarized as follows; First, big market movement occurred more frequently during 9:00~10:00 and 14:00~14:50. These phenomena reflect market unstability just after opening and near closing. Second, VKSOPI is most closely associated with extreme changes such as KOSPI200 jumps. Third, VKOSPI is showed more predictive power with negative KOSPI200 jumps than KOSPI200 jumps. Fourth, VKOSPI showed predictive power for the positive and negative jumps up to 30 minutes before the jumps occurs. The purpose of this study is to explore the most recent topics in the field of finance, research on market microstructure. This study is an important contribution to investigate intraday information comprehensively in terms of market microstructure effects using the 15-year long-term and the high-frequency data(minute by minute). The results of this study are expected to contribute to detect intraday true jumps, proactive development of market risk indicators, risk management, derivatives investment strategy.

본 연구에서는 국내 주가지수선물시장과 현물시상간의 일중 가격 및 가격변동성의 선-후행관계를 실증적으로 분석함으로써 양 시장간의 동적관련성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 먼저, 상관관계분석의 결과는 KOSPI 200 주가지수선물수익률과 현물수익률, 그리고 주가지수선물수익률자승과 현물수익률 자승간에 유의한 교차상관관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 수익률의 선-후행관계를 살펴보기 위한 주가지수선물수익률의 시차변수들과 현물수익률간의 다중회귀분석의 결과는 주가지수선물수익률이 현물수익률을 약 15분 정도 선행하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 현상은 현물수익률에 존재할 수 있는 비동시적 거래의 영향을 통제한 경우에도 비록 그 강도가 약하기는 하지만 여전하였다. 다음으로, 수익률 변동성의 선-후행관계를 살펴보기 위해 Grammatikos-Saunders (1986)가 제시한 무조건부 변동성의 추정치인 로그수익률자승을 사용하여 분석한 결과 주가지수선물수익률의 변동성이 현물수익률의 변동성을 약 10분 정도 선행하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 비동시적 거래의 영향을 통제한 경우에도 동일하였다. 또한, Nelson(1991)의 EGARCH모형을 사용하여 수익률의 변동성을 추정한 후 이를 갖고 분석한 결과, 특히 비동시적 거래의 영향을 통제한 경우에는 주가지수선물시장과 현물시장의 수익률 변동성간에 선-후행관계가 존재한다는 것을 부정할 수 없었다.

This paper investigates volatilities of stock returns based on high frequency data from stock market. Incorporating the price duration as one of the factors in volatility, we employ the autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) model for the price duration in addition to the GARCH model to analyze stock volatilities. A combined ACD-GARCH model is analyzed in which a double-threshold is introduced to accommodate asymmetric features on stock volatilities.

This study empirically analyzes the effects of international oil prices on domestic stock market volatility. The data used for the analysis are 10-minute high-frequency data of the KOSPI index and WTI futures price from January 2, 2015, to July 30, 2021. For using the high-frequency data, a heterogeneous autoregression (HAR) model is employed. The analysis model utilizes the advantages of high frequency data to observe the impact of international oil prices through realized volatility, realized skewness, and kurtosis as well as oil price return. In the estimation, the Box-Cox transformation is applied in consideration of the distribution of realized volatility with high skewness. As a result, it finds that the daily return fluctuation of the WTI price has a statistically significant positive (+) effect on the volatility of the KOSPI return. However, the volatility, skewness, and kurtosis of the WTI return do not appear to affect the volatility of the KOSPI return. This result is believed to be because the volatility of the KOSPI return reflects the daily change in the WTI return, but does not reflect the intraday trading behavior of investors.

A lot of researches find negative volatility risk premium in options market. We can make a trading profit by exploiting the negative volatility premium. This study proposes negative volatility risk premium hypotheses in the KOSPI 200 stock price index options market and empirically test the proposed hypotheses with intra-day short straddle strategy. This strategy sells both at-the-money call option and at-the-money put option at market open and exits the position at market close. Using MySQL 5.1, we create our database with 1 minute option price data of the KOSPI 200 index options from 2004 to 2009. Empirical results show that negative volatility risk premium exists in the KOSPI 200 stock price index options market. Furthermore, intra-day short straddle strategy consistently produces annual profits except one year.

We have studied the realized variance(RV) of intra-day returns and market microstructure noise based on high-frequency stock transaction data for the four largest companies in terms of market capitalization in the KOSPI. First, non-negligible biases are observed for the RV and for the bias-corrected realized variance($RV_{AC_1}$) which is constructed by adjusting RV for the first order autocorrelation in intra-day returns. Bias is more obvious for the RV and the $RV_{AC_1}$ when intra-day returns are sampled more frequently than every 2 minutes. Transaction Time Sampling(TTS) is shown to be better than Calendar Time Sampling(CTS) in terms of biases of the RV and the $RV_{AC_1}$ for the 4 companies. The analysis reveals that market microstructure noise is temporally dependent. Second, by using the Noise-to-Signal Ratio(NSR), we estimate sampling frequencies that are optimal in terms of the Mean Square Errors(MSE) of the RV and the $RV_{AC_1}$. The optimal sampling frequencies are around 200 for RV and is around 5000 for the $RV_{AC_1}$ for all the four stock prices. For the 6 hour transaction period of the Korean stock trading, these correspond to about 2 minutes and 6 seconds.

Temperature lapse rate within the planetary boundary layer shows a diurnal cycle with a substantial variation. The widely-used lapse rate value for the standard atmosphere may result in unaffordable errors if used in interpolating hourly temperature in complex terrain. We propose a simple method for estimating hourly lapse rate and evaluate whether this scheme is better than the conventional method using the standard lapse rate. A standard curve for lapse rate based on the diurnal course of temperature was drawn using upper air temperature for 1000hPa and 925hPa standard pressure levels. It was modulated by the hourly sky condition (amount of clouds). In order to test the reliability of this method, hourly lapse rates for the 500-600m layer over Daegwallyeong site were estimated by this method and compared with the measured values by an ultrasonic temperature profiler. Results showed the mean error $-0.0001^{\circ}C/m$ and the root mean square error $0.0024^{\circ}C/m$ for this vertical profile experiment. An additional experiment was carried out to test if this method is applicable for the mountain slope lapse rate. Hourly lapse rates for the 313-401m slope range in a complex watershed ('Hadong Watermark 2') were estimated by this method and compared with the observations. We found this method useful in describing diurnal cycle and variation of the mountain slope lapse rate over a complex terrain despite larger error compared with the vertical profile experiment.

주가(株價)의 예측(豫測)이 가능하다는 최근 실증결과들로 말미암아 증권시장의 효율성(效率性)에 강한 의문이 제기되고 있다. 주가(株價)의 반전(反轉)(price reversal)이 주가의 예측을 가능하게 한다는 것이다. 혹자는 증권시장이 정보에 과잉반응(過剩反應)을 나타내고 그 후 이를 수정함으로서 주가의 반전이 나타난다고 주장한다. 또 혹자는 호가(呼價)스프레드(spreads)의 존재로 인하여 주가의 반전이 있을 수 있다고 한다. 실제로, 때로는 매수호가에 때로는 매도호가에 거래가 이루어지고 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 KOSPI 200 구성주식의 일별(日別)수익률 자료를 이용한 실증분석에서 다음과 같은 중요한 사항들을 발견하였다. 첫째, 한국증권시장에 주가반전(株價反轉)이 있다는 것을 확인하였으며, 이러한 단기 주가반전의 주된 원천은 시장(市場)의 과잉반응(過剩反應)이 아니라 호가(呼價)스프레드라는 것을 발견하였다. 일중(日中)에도 물론 주가가 반전하고 있음을 확인하였다. 둘째, 호가스프레드에 의한 변동성으로 말미암아 거래가격을 기준으로 한 일별수익률의 변동성(變動性)이 상당히 과대(過大) 추정(推定)될 수 있음을 발견하였다. 일별수익률 분산의 약 15%는 호가스프레드로 설명(說明)할 수 있었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구결과는 다음과 같은 점을 시사(示峻)하고 있다. 우리 나라에서 호가스프레드는 딜러마켓에서와 같은 '마진'의 의미가 전혀 없다. 따라서 호가스프레드의 크기를 결정하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하는 '호가단위(呼價單位)'를 적절한 수준으로 가능한한 작게 하는 것이 바람직 할 것이다. 이는 매도자와 매수자의 의견접근을 용이하게 함으로서 매매(賣買)의 성립(成立)을 촉진할 뿐만 아니라, 특히 기관투자자의 거래비용(去來費用)을 줄일 수 있으며, 또 호가스프레드로 인한 앞서의 불필요한 변동성(變動性)을 줄이는 효과도 아울러 기할 수 있을 것이다.
