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 analysis the long-run demand for monetary indicator M2 and Liquidity indicator L in Korea in the period from 1980:1 to 2006:3 by cointegration and error correction models. The empirical evidence that M2, L in Korea is meaningfully cointegrated with income, interest rate, exchange rate, inflation uncertainty, real effective exchange rate, exchange rate uncertainty and LIBOR, thus showing the existence of long-run demand function under open-economy framework.

Using high-frequency data for 2 years, this study investigates intraday lead-lag relationship between stock index and stock index futures markets in Korea and China. We found that there are some differences in price discovery and volatility transmission between Korea and China after the stock index futures markets was introduced. Following Stoll-Whaley(1990) and Chan(1992), the multiple regression is estimated to examine the lead-lag patterns between the two markets by Newey-West's(1987) heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent covariance matrix(HAC matrix). Empirical results of KOSPI 200 shows that the futures market leads the cash market and weak evidence that the cash market leads the futures market. New market information disseminates in the futures market before the stock market with index arbitrageurs then stepping in quickly to bring the cost-of-carry relation back into alignment. The regression tests for the conditional volatility which is estimated using EGARCH model do not show that there is a clear pattern of the futures market leading the stock market in terms of the volatility even though controlling nonsynchronous trading effects. This implies that information in price innovations that originate in the futures market is transmitted to the volatility of the cash market. Empirical results of CSI 300 shows that the cash market is found to play a more dominant role in the price discovery process after the Chinese index started a sharp decline immediately after the stock index futures were introduced. The new stock index futures markets does not function well in its price discovery performance at its infancy stage, apparently due to high barriers to entry into this emerging futures markets. Based on EGAECH model, the results uncover strong bi-directional dependence in the intraday volatility of both markets.

This article examines the distributional characteristics of the return of Chinese stock market indices. The majority of previous empirical researches have tended to focus upon the simple stock market index. However, this study focuses on the four indices which represent the characteristics of each stock market index. The empirical findings indicate that the returns of the four chinese indices are not normally distributed at conventional levels. The Ljimg-Box -statistics indicate the returns of the index of A shares are not serially autocorrelated. However, the returns of the index of B shares are serially autocorrelated. The empirical findings also indicate returns of the four chinese indices are not serially autocorrelated. The statistics of Regression Specification Error Test and ARCH indicate the returns of all four indices are not serially linear. The findings also indicate that E- GARCH model is the most fittest model for the returns of the four chinese indices and the forecast error can be reduced by using student t distribution rather normal distribution.

The degree of informational asymmetry relating to the expiration of index derivatives is usually increased as an expiration day of index derivatives approaches. The increase in the degree of informational asymmetry may have some effects on trading behavior of investors. To examine what the effects look like, 'life cycle of index derivatives' in this study is defined as three adjacent periods around expiration day: pre-expiration period(a week before the expiration day), post-expiration period(a week after the expiration day), and remaining period. It is inspected whether stock investor's trading behavior is changed according to the life cycle of KOSPI200 derivatives and what the reason of the changing behavior is. We have four results. First, trading behavior of each investor group is categorized into three patterns: ㄱ-pattern, L-pattern and U-pattern. The level of trading activity is low for pre-expiration period and normal for other periods in the ㄱ-pattern. L-pattern means that the level of trading activity is high for post-expiration period and normal for other periods. In the U-pattern, the trading activity is reduced for remaining period compared to other periods. Second, individual investors have ㄱ-pattern of trading large stocks according to the life cycle of KOSPI200 index futures while they show U-pattern according to the life cycle of KOSPI200 index options. Their trading behavior is consistent with the prediction of Foster and Viswanathan(1990)'s model for strategic liquidity investors. Third, trading pattern of foreign investors in relation to life cycle of index derivatives is partially explained by the model, but trading pattern of institutional investors has nothing to do with the predictions of the model.
