RT Report T1 Testing for a Common Volatility Process and Information Spillovers in Bivariate Financial Time Series Models A1 Chen, Jinghui A1 Kobayashi, Masahito A1 McAleer, Michael AB The paper considers the problem as to whether financial returns have a common volatility process in the framework of stochastic volatility models that were suggested by Harvey et al. (1994). We propose a stochastic volatility version of the ARCH test proposed by Engle and Susmel (1993), who investigated whether international equity markets have a common volatility process. The paper also checks the hypothesis of frictionless cross-market hedging, which implies perfectly correlated volatility changes, as suggested by Fleming et al. (1998). The paper uses the technique of Chesher (1984) in differentiating an integral that contains a degenerate density function in deriving the Lagrange Multiplier test statistic.
