Introduction l l The scope of paper was to study how different capital markets are influencing each other The study is focused on the US market, major European countries and Romania, using the following indexes: – – – l 4 S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and DJ INDUSTRIALS (US) CAC 40, FTSE 100 and DAX 30 (Europe) BET, Romanian index The period selected for the study was September 1997 – May 2008 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Introduction l l 5 Instead of considering the risk in term of volatility to risk we reflected in term of extreme losses with low probability of being exceeded This means tail risk and we approach it through 1 day, 95% and 99% Value at Risk measure Our objective is to determine whether this kind of risk, presents spillover effects across the markets. Spillover effects being the influence of one market on others, is examined using the Granger causality, for daily changes of the Va. R series 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Standard deviations methods l Moving average – Each day the forecast is updated by adding information from the preceding day and dropping information from (M+1) – 8 We have calculated the moving average using a moving window of 10, 20 and 60 days 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Standard deviations methods l EWMA – In order to capture the dynamic features of volatility it is use an exponential moving average of historical observations, where the latest observations carry the highest weight in volatility estimate – – 9 EWMA depends on the parameter- which is often referred to decay factor. This parameter determines the relative weight of past observations. We have used a decay factor of 0. 94 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Standard deviations methods - GARCH l A general GARCH (p, q) model is given by Bollerslev, 1986, and the equations specified for this model are: 10 – The conditional mean y (t/t-1) it is take as constant – Conditional variance equation – We have used Garch (1, 1) with Normal and t distribution 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Value at Risk Methods l Historical Simulation uses real historical data to build an empirical density for the portfolio P&L – – l It is the percentile of the empirical distribution corresponding to the confidence level of these distributions We used two size of past observations of 100 and 250 days Delta-Normal is a parametric method based on the assumption that the return are normally distributed. – Va. R is defined as l 11 Where Z is the alpha percentile of the standard normal density 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Value at Risk Methods l EVT – used to model fat tails. In order to determine Va. R the next steps have to be considered: – The standardized portfolio returns are given from the following formula – – 12 It is choose a threshold “u” to represent the 95 th, 99 th percentile Let y = x + u. when x = z when z exceeds u; The is estimated by the Hill estimator as defined bellow. When the tail parameter is positive then the return distributions is fat tailed The Va. R from the EVT combined with the variance model is calculated as 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Backtesting l Va. R models must be accompanied by a validation. When the model is perfectly calibrated the number of observations falling outside VAR should be in line with the confidence level l Kupiec (1995) develops approximate 95 percent confidence regions for such a test. . l These regions are defined by the tail points of the log-likelihood ratio: l The LR is asymptotically distributed chi-square with one degree of freedom under the null hypothesis that is the probability. It is reject the null hypothesis if LR> 3. 84 (critical value) 14 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Spillover – Granger Causality 22 l In order to test for Granger causality across two variables X and Y we run bivariate regressions with a lag length set as k. These are called unrestricted regressions: l Granger Causality is examined by testing the null hypothesis whether all are equal to zero 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Topics l l 31 Introduction Methodologies used and results Conclusion References-Annex 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Conclusion (1) l l l 32 There is are spillover effects from US and European market to Romanian market, especially from DJINDUS and FTSE 100. Comparing the two different levels of risk (95 % and 99%) we observe that for the 95% Va. R there are more spillover effects across the markets But, as per 99% Va. R calculations, the US and European markets influence the Romanian capital market 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Conclusion (2) l l l 33 US indexes have the greatest effect across the indexes, in particular DJ INDUSTRIALS and NASDAQ 100 Another interesting result is that FTSE 100 plays a significant role since it leads many other markets. Also we have found a causal relationship between DAC 30 and CAC 40 to European market. 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study

Conclusions beyond formulas l l 34 Globalisation has an important role in the correlations between markets. Big players have access to all the markets and usually they have a unitary strategy that will influence accordingly all the markets on which they are active Investors expectations triggers also the correlations between markets. If they see an upward or downward move on other important markets they will expect the same move on their market. Hence they will buy or sell accordingly 12 July 2008 Spillover Effect Study
