This study investigates whether institutional investors increase or decrease the volatility of stock returns in the Thai stock market. For the purpose we used the data from SETSMART, a database provided by the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). Our sample is a balanced panel data covering 3,160 firm-year observations from 316 nonfinancial firms listed on the SET from 2011 to 2020. We analyze the link between institutional holdings and the volatility of stock returns by the pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model, the fixed effects model, and the random-effects model. In particular, we regress the stock return volatility on institutional ownership while controlling for firm size, financial leverage, growth opportunities, and stock turnover and accounting for industry effects and year effects. Our results indicate institutional investors' positive and significant influence on the volatility of the stock returns. Additionally, we performed the dynamic Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) estimator to alleviate concerns of possible endogeneity. The result still shows a positive impact of institutional investors on the volatility in stock returns. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that an increase in the volatility of stock returns in the Thai stock market may stem from a higher proportion of equity held by the institutional investors.

This paper examines the impact of foreign ownership on stock price volatility in an emerging market, namely, Thailand. The data were obtained from SETSMART, the database of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). After removing financial firms, banks, and insurance companies as well as filtering outliers, the final sample covers 1,755 firm-year observations from 371 nonfinancial firms listed on the SET over the five-year period from 2014 to 2018. The regression model consists of stock price volatility, measured by two methods, as the dependent variable, foreign ownership as the main independent variable, and firm characteristics including firm size, leverage, market-to book ratio, and stock turnover as the control variables. The pooled OLS, fixed effects, and random effects estimations are employed to examine the relationship between foreign ownership and stock price volatility. The results reveal that foreign ownership has a negative and significant impact on stock price volatility. The two-stage least squares (2SLS) are also performed to address potential endogeneity problem. The results still indicate a negative relationship between foreign ownership and stock price volatility. Taken together, the findings of this study suggest that foreign investors help reduce stock price volatility and thus stabilize share price in the Thai stock market.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the dynamic linkage between conditional stock market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty of Bangladesh. Research design, data, and methodology: This study uses monthly data covering the time period from January 2005 to December 2018. A comprehensive set of macroeconomic variables, namely industrial production index (IP), consumer price index (CPI), broad money supply (M2), 91-day treasury bill rate (TB), treasury bond yield (GB), exchange rate (EX), inflow of foreign remittance (RT) and stock market index of DSEX are used for analysis. Symmetric and asymmetric univariate GARCH family of models and multivariate VAR model, along with block exogeneity and impulse response functions, are implemented on conditional volatility series to discover the possible interactions and causal relations between macroeconomic forces and stock return. Results: The analysis of the study exhibits time-varying volatility and volatility persistence in all the variables of interest. Moreover, the asymmetric effect is found significant in the stock return and most of the growth series of macroeconomic fundamentals. Results from the multivariate VAR model indicate that only short-term interest rate significantly influence the stock market volatility, while conditional stock return volatility is significant in explaining the volatility of industrial production, inflation, and treasury bill rate. Conclusion: The findings suggest an increasing interdependence between the money market and equity market as well as the macroeconomic fundamentals of Bangladesh.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the volatility of both Islamic and conventional stock market in Indonesia with the aim of identifying the most appropriate model for risk management practice. The study considers GARCH as a genre of model to measure the volatility of stock market movement. The results support the view that each model shows specific volatility from both Islamic and conventional stock market in Indonesia. In Islamic stock market, volatility is affected by exchange rate and money supply (M1) but not interest rate as interest is prohibited in Islam. However, interest rate is found as a principal factor that affects volatility of conventional stock market. The outcomes of this paper are of particular significance to policy makers, as it provides guidelines to maintain economic health. Furthermore, the findings may assist practitioners to understand the consequences of macroeconomic factors such as exchange rate, money supply and interest rate, which are very crucial for the market stability of Indonesian stock market. The paper enhances the understanding of stock market volatility and proposes guidelines risk management practices.

본 연구에서는 French, Schwert, & Stambaugh와 Schwert의 연구에 사용된 방법을 이용하여 한국 증권시장에서 주식수익률의 변동성의 특징을 분석하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 모형은 주식시장의 변동성의 시계열 특성에 대한 보다 조직적 분석을 제공한다. 간단히 말하면, 이 모형들은 일별 수익률로부터 자기회귀 및 계절적 영향을 제거함으로써 예기치 못한 수익률을 추정할 수 있게 한다. 그리고 나서 자기회귀 및 계절적 모형에 예기치 못한 수익률의 절대값을 이용하여 주가변동성을 예측하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 총체적 주식수익률의 움직임에 대한 지속성은 미약하고, 자기회귀모형에 비정상성이 있을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 일별 주가변동성의 움직임이 주식수익률의 움직임보다 훨씬 예측가능하다는 것을 발견하였다. 둘째, 변동성의 증가가 미래 기대수익률을 증가시킨다는 증거는 미약하고, 변동성이 시차 주식수익률과 관계가 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

This study examines the impact of the number of coronavirus cases on regime-switching in stock return volatility. This study documents the empirical evidence that the COVID-19 cases had an asymmetric effect on the regime of stock return volatility. When the stock return is in the low volatility regime, the probability of switching to the high volatility regime in the next trading day increases as the number of cumulative cases increases. In contrast, in the high volatility regime, the effect of cumulative cases on the transition probability is not statistically significant. This study also documents the evidence that the government measures against the pandemic contribute to promoting the high volatility regime of the KOSPI during the pandemic. Besides, this study projects future stock prices through the Monte Carlo simulation based on the estimated parameters and the predicted number of the COVID-19 new cases. Under a scenario where the number of new cases rapidly increases, stock price indices in Korea are expected to be in a downward trend over the next three months. On the other hand, under the moderate scenario and the best scenario, the stock indices are likely to continue to rise.

논문은 주식가격의 변동성과 거시경제변수 및 파생상품거래와의 관계를 실증적으로 분석한다. 이전 연구들에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 주식수익률의 변동성은 거시 경제변수의 변동성에 비해 훨씬 크게 나타날 뿐 아니라, 변수의 설명력도 약해서 거시경제변수-주식가격 변동성의 이론적 관계를 확인하기에 충분하지 않다. 1980년 이후의 한국 데이터를 사용한 분석의 결과도 이런 결과를 확인해 준다. 그러나 이들 결과는 금융활동 변수들이 누락되었기 때문일 수 있다. 이 논문은 특히 파생상품 거래의 변동성이 주식수익률 변동성을 상당 부분 설명할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 거시경제 변수의 설명력도 복원시킬 수 있음을 확인해준다.

The paper aims to measure stock price volatility on Ho Chi Minh stock exchange (HSX). We apply symmetric models (GARCH, GARCH-M) and asymmetry (EGARCH and TGARCH) to measure stock price volatility on HSX. We used time series data including the daily closed price of VN-Index during 1/03/2001-1/03/2019 with 4375 observations. The results show that GARCH (1,1) and EGARCH (1,1) models are the most suitable models to measure both symmetry and asymmetry volatility level of VN-Index. The study also provides evidence for the existence of asymmetric effects (leverage) through the parameters of TGARCH model (1,1), showing that positive shocks have a significant effect on the conditional variance (volatility). This result implies that the volatility of stock returns has a big impact on future market movements under the impact of shocks, while asymmetric volatility increase market risk, thus increase the attractiveness of the stock market. The research results are useful reference information to help investors in forecasting the expected profit rate of the HSX, and also the risks along with market fluctuations in order to take appropriate adjust to the portfolios. From this study's results, we can see risk prediction models such as GARCH can be better used in risk forecasting especially.

This study investigates the short-run and long-run causal behavior of the Philippine stock market index volatility under vector error correction environment. The variables were tested first for stationarity and then long-run equilibrium relationship. Moreover, an impulse response function was estimated to examine the extent of innovations in the independent variables in explaining the Philippine stock market index volatility. The results reveal that the volatility of the Philippine stock market index exhibit long-run equilibrium relationship with Peso-Dollar exchange rate, London Interbank Offered Rate, and crude oil prices. The short-run dynamics-based VECM estimates indicate that in the short-run, increases (i.e., depreciation) in Peso-Dollar exchange rate cause PSEI volatility to increase. As for the London Interbank Offered Rate, it causes increases in PSEI volatility in the short-run. The adjustment coefficients used with the long-run dynamics validates the presence of unidirectional causal long-run relationship from Peso-Dollar exchange rate, London Interbank Offered Rate, and crude oil prices to PSEI volatility, and bidirectional causal long-run relationship between PSEI volatility and London Interbank Offered Rate. The impulse response functions developed within the VECM framework demonstrate the positive and negative reactions of PSEI volatility to unanticipated Peso-Dollar exchange rate, London Interbank Offered Rate, and crude oil price shocks.

주식시장에서 관찰되는 변동성은 시간에 따라 변하는 특징이 있는데, 변동성의 지속성을 기준으로 지속적인 변동성(long-lived volatility)과 일시적인 변동성(short-lived volatility)으로 구분할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국 주식시장의 변동성을 지속적 요소와 일시적 요소로 분해하였으며, 지속적 변동성에서 관찰되는 주요 특징과 거시경제적 관련성을 분석하였다. 전체 변동성을 지속적 요소와 일시적 요소로 분해하기 위해 GARCH-MIDAS 모형을 사용하였으며, 지속적 변동성을 구성하는 정보변수로는 실현된 변동성(realized volatility)을 활용하였다. 1990~2009년의 표본기간에 대해 모형을 추정한 결과, KOSPI 수익률의 지속적 변동성에는 과거 3~4년까지의 정보가 주요하게 반영되는 것으로 나타났다 또한 . 1994~2009년 기간에 있었던 KOSPI 일별 변동성의 변화 중 약 2/3 정도가 지속적 변동성의 변화에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 주식시장의 변동성에서 관찰되는 장기적인 변화는 그에 상응하는 거시경제여건의 변화와 관련이 있을 수 있는데, 1994~2009년의 기간에 대해 분석한 결과 주식시장의 지속적 변동성은 경기역행적 특징을 보이는 가운데 물가상승률에 대해서는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 거시경제적 불확실성이 상승하는 시기에는 주식시장의 지속적 변동성도 상승하는 경향이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 주식시장의 지속적 변동성과 거시경제여건과의 관련성에 대한 이상의 분석 결과는 경제안정화를 위한 거시경제정책이 주식시장의 변동성 완화에도 기여할 수 있음을 시사한다.
