ABSTRACT:

The purpose of this paper is to study the volatility comparison and volatility spillover effects in India and major global indices. The study uses a vector autoregression model with various GARCH models in order to measure conditional volatility (GARCH), asymmetric effect in the conditional volatility (T-GARCH), volatility persistence in conditional volatility (E-GARCH), the impact of conditional volatility on conditional returns (M-GARCH) and volatility spillover (GARCH (1, 1) with exogenous variable) for the period of 2005 to 2020. The estimates show that the Indian stock market had a strong impact on selected global indices. Volatility spillover was found to be in existence from the Indian stock market to global indices and vice-versa. The T-GARCH estimates show the existence of a significant asymmetric effect in conditional volatility. The results of the E-GARCH estimates show the existence of volatility persistence in conditional volatility and the M-GARCH estimates indicated that there was no significant impact of conditional volatility on conditional returns of the sample indices. These findings have substantial insinuations and outcomes for portfolio managers, analysts, and investors for investment assessments and decisions regarding asset allocations. Higher volatility will lead to a higher level of fretfulness among market participants and investors, which will push them to be more risk-averse. The results of the study are also relevant for policymakers with respect to the Indian as well as global markets. This study will try to add a new dimension to the existing literature by studying how the Indian index has an impact on global indices like Brazil, USA, Russia, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea.

INTRODUCTION:

Major strategic deviations have been observed over the last three decades, with international investment limits being reduced, exchange control being nearly eliminated, free movement of capital, people, and technology being promoted, and the fundamental structures of most global markets being transformed. Market developments can alter the relationship between different markets across the world.

 

The liberalization has aided market integration, which has important consequences for investment decisions and policy. In both established and emerging economies, the stock markets have been correlated to the dramatic rise in uncertainty. Stock market behavior research can provide insights into the stock market's future development. Because of the growing importance of financial markets in the global economy, volatility spillover has gained a lot of attention recently (Bhar and Nikolova 2007; Caporale and Spagnolo 2012; Tiwari et al. 2013). The economic development dynamics are unavoidable. The study of worldwide stock market interconnectedness is receiving a lot of interest nowadays. The home country can be connected to foreign capital markets through financial integration (Joshi et al. 2021).

 

The volatility spillover plays a significant role in understanding the co-integration of various stock indices. This study tries to explain the volatility spillover from two different perspectives. On one side, the spillover shows a unilateral underlying relationship between historical volatility and the current volatility of the same markets. On the other side, cross volatility spillover shows a unilateral causal relationship between the historical volatility of one market with the current volatility of other markets. 

 

The primary objective of the paper is to study the volatility comparison of various markets and volatility spillover effects in Indian and other major global indices. The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the degree to which the changes in the stock prices in one market/index stimulate the open prices in other markets in the next or following trading sessions and whether the deviations in volatility in one market are positively related to spillover in volatility in other markets. Additionally, volatility spillover across the markets is investigated as they are found to have significant decision-making inferences for risk management and portfolio management.

 

The literature shows that financial markets of developed countries like USA, Japan, and Europe are integrated (Arshanapalli, Doukas, and Lang 1995; N. A. Joshi et al. 2021; Kizys and Pierdzioch 2009; Masih and Masih 1997). The similar integration between the USA, Japanese and Asian markets were also observed by various studies ( Anoruo et al., 2003; Arshanapalli et al., 1995; Asgharian et al., 2013). Further, these studies attributed to the decline of stock indices after the United States stock market crash of October 1987, Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 and Global Financial Crisis of 2008 to co- integration and interlinkages of stock markets. They primarily focused on the integration of the markets of developed economies. Hamao et al. (1990) found volatility spill over from USA to UK to Japan. Koutmos and Booth(1995) found that the negative innovations in the USA, UK and Japan markets increase the volatility in another market to trade more as compared to positive innovations.

 

The returns and volatility spill overs in East Asian markets were measured by Yilmaz (2010), and there was a substantial difference between the returns and volatility spill overs in the crisis and non-crisis periods. The study also found that the volatility spill overs outweighed the return spill overs. Co-integration and spill over of volatility between India and its Asian neighbours was studied by Mukherjee and Mishra, (2010) and found intra-day volatility spill overs. These spill overs were found to be significant and bi-directional. The study concluded that there was a significant flow of information to India from other Asian markets. The spill over effect in equity market of China with other markets of USA, Japan and group of G5 countries was studied by (Nishimura and Men 2010; Wang and Wang 2010) by using 20 years daily prices and found that significant impact of volatility spill over from Chinese market to US and Japanese markets.

 

Uyaebo et al. (2015) studied the share indices of the USA, Germany, China and three countries of African region namely South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya by using the daily prices for the year 2000 to 2013. They used GARCH models to measure volatility in return for all indices respectively the volatility in the returns of these sample markets. They found that high volatility of index returns in developing countries like Nigeria and Kenya. Volatility clustering in Indian markets was studied by (Goudarzi and Ramanarayanan 2010) using GARCH (1, 1) model and found significant evidence of volatility clustering. Gupta, (2013) also studied Indian market data using GARCH model and found the volatility clustering along with information spill over. Apart from capital markets a high degree of dependency was found between Indian and Chinese commodity market as well (Maitra and Dey 2014). Long-run relation between spot and future price was tested by (Jain and Biswal 2015), and they observed the co-movement among the stock prices and presence of informed investors in both markets and concluded that in India the cash market is efficient than the futures market.

 

Tanty and Patjoshi (2016) studied the relation between returns and volatility, volatility clustering, leverage effect and the persistent volatility of BSE and NSE using ARCH and GARCH model and found volatility clustering in the Indian stock indices. Susruth (2017) studied the forecast of volatility of S&P BSE 500 index using GARCH, E-GARCH and M-GARCH model and found the existence of volatility clustering along with leverage effect on volatility and non-existence of risk premium in Indian market. Gakhar et al. (2017) studied the impact of budget on CNX auto and CNX bank and concluded that there was no impact of union budget on short-term, medium-term and long-term returns of the indices in the sample. They also concluded that volatility of these indices did not change much in the post-budget period as compared to pre-budget period.

 

Aneja and Makkar (2017) captured stock prices behaviour and volatility in Indian banks during the financial crisis using GARCH model and found a very highly persistent volatility and significant negative correlation between stock prices and volatility. Arora (2017) studied the lead-lag relationship between Nifty 50 and midcap 50 indices using Johansen co-integration test, vector autoregressive model, variance decomposition and impulse response function and found that there was no long-term cointegrating relationship between these two indices and nifty returns were prejudiced by its own lag returns. Rajamohan and Arivalagan (2017) studied the co-movement and causal effects among Asian markets. In the same line, Babu and Hariharan (2017) studied the cointegration among G7 countries and found that the indices were cointegrated in the short-term as well as long-term and the investors could diversify their investments in these countries to reduce their risk.

 

Narwal and Chhabra (2018) reviewed the literature regarding volatility indices and found that future realized volatility can be predicted based on informal efficiency of volatility indices and such efficiency can be used as risk management technique by the traders trading in F&O segment. Kaushik (2018) studied the impact of corporate governance on volatility of stock indices in India using conditional volatility models to investigate the patterns of returns of Indian indices and concluded that corporate governance led to better returns of the stocks and increased investors’ trust in those listed companies. Majumdar and Saha (2018) studied the impact of macroeconomic factors on volatility of stock index and found that external factors like gold, CRR, exchange rate and foreign exchange reserve explained the volatility of Indian market to the extent of 65% and the interest factors like crude oil, inflation and call money rate had a significant impact on the volatility of Nifty.

 

Unidirectional volatility and spill overs among US, Japanese and other Asian markets was observed by using GARCH models (N. Joshi et al. 2021; Li and Giles 2015; Mohammadi and Tan 2015). Bi-directional volatility spill over was found between India and Sri Lanka and unidirectional volatility as well as spill over between China and other markets (Jebran et al. 2017). The study used E-GARCH model to measure volatility spill over direction pre- and post-financial crises of 2007-08 among 5 Asian countries. Similar study by Vo and Ellis (2018) found return relationship and volatility spill over pre- and post-sub-prime crisis of 2008 on Vietnamese market and other developed markets. This study used VAR-GARCH-BEKK models and the results were found to be statistically significant. Kumar and Khanna (2018) also used GARCH-BEKK model and found that past volatility had more impact on current volatility as compared to the shocks coming to the markets using data of four Asian markets. The majority of the studies on volatility spill over have been done on stock indices of developed economies; whereas very few studies have focussed on the volatility spill over on markets of developing economies. It is imperative to investigate the spill over in developing markets as they are more sensitive and volatile comparted to the developed markets. The current study is an attempt to estimate the volatility spill overs on the Indian market with major global indices.

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

To examine the volatility and volatility spill over, the study uses data from the Indian index, and seven other indices across the globe. The identified indices were: Indian index (SENSEX) and seven major indices from different regions namely Brazil (BOVESPA), America (DJIA), Japan (NIKKEI), China (SCI), Hong Kong (HIS), South Korea (KOSPI) and Russia (RTSI). The closing prices on daily basis of the indices in sample were collected from the stock exchanges websites for the period from the year 2005 to 2020.

 

GARCH (1, 1) Model:

Stock index prices exhibit large volatility, leading to time varying variances and violating the assumption of a constant variance (homoscedasticity). GARCH models can be used to verify the volatility clustering in such time series data. ARCH LM test was used on the ARMA (1, 1) model to investigate the volatility clustering of the sample indices and GARCH (1, 1) model was used to estimate the conditional volatility.

 

For comparing various components of conditional volatility such as asymmetric effects of positive and negative shocks on conditional volatility, comparing the size effects and sign effects of the shocks and influence of conditional volatility on returns in the sample markets, T-GARCH, E-GARCH and M-GARCH models were used respectively.

 

This study will support the literature by analysing the impact of Indian market on the indices from other countries and vice-versa. The findings of the study would strengthen the methodological acceptance of volatility spillover between Indian market and global stock indices and vice-versa.

 

GARCH (1, 1) model was adopted with the following equation. GARCH (1, 1) model checks for changes for the random walk and allows the error term to deviate from the assumption of normally distributed, independent and homoscedasticity.  In above model (2) 2 is conditional variance of error term  of GARCH (1, 1) model. Parameters, and   represents changing volatility. Model measure three important things, first is change in slope and intercept of the model represented by, second is time varying variance of error term and third is level of risk by measuring conditional variance of log returns. 

 

The Threshold GARCH Model (T-GARCH):

T-GARCH is an improved version of GARCH as it has the ability to enforce asymmetric response to different shudders. The previous studies confirmed that asymmetric response of the index to the unforeseen negative shudder to the time series will be the grounds for higher volatility in comparison of a positive shudder of same extent. In this study the T-GARCH model along with dummy representing the presence of negative shocks in the lagged error terms used in order to analyse the volatility in the selected stock markets.

 

The T-GARCH model is a modified version of GARCH model where one additional dummy variable (γµ2t-1It-1) is added in the model which examines the presence of possible asymmetries in the conditional volatility. The dummy variable in the TARCH model represents the presence of negative shocks in the system.

 

The Exponential GARCH Model (E-GARCH):

The E-GARCH can be generalized to explain more lags inside the conditional variance. The non-negativity constraints at the parameters aren't there in E-GARCH model. The ARCH term may be labelled into independent variables which imply the sign effect of shocks on Index volatility and the size impact of shocks at the volatility.

The second term in the E-GARCH model indicates the impact of GARCH term (volatility persistence) on the future conditional volatility in selected Index returns. The third term in the EGARCH model indicates the sign effect of the ARCH (previous shock) on the conditional volatility in the selected Index returns. The fourth term in the E-GARCH model indicates the size effect of the ARCH term on the conditional volatility in the selected Index returns.

 

The GARCH in Mean Model (M-GARCH):

The objective of adopting the M-GARCH was to investigate the response of price discovery procedure with recognize to any alternate in conditional volatility. The conditional volatility is observed to be good sized and high quality if the conditional volatility is located to be associated with returns.

 

The GARCH (1, 1) Model with Exogenous Variable:

For studying the volatility spillover outcomes of SENSEX on worldwide markets, GARCH (1, 1) model changed which included the SENSEX volatility as the exogenous variable inside the GARCH equation (Yilmaz, 2009). For reading the volatility spillover results of world markets on SENSEX, GARCH (1, 1) was used which included the global market volatility as the exogenous variable within the GARCH equation. The squared residuals of the ARMA (1, 1) had been considered for the volatility substitutes for the sample markets. Such squared residuals had been used as exogenous variable in model.

 

In the above equation, shows RESID (-1)^2,  shows the GARCH effects and  the β indicates the spillover effect in the direction of volatility international stock volatility.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

Descriptive Analysis, Stationarity Analysis and Volatility Clustering:

The summary statistics shown in Table – 1 indicated that the average daily return of DJIA was highest (0.14) followed by SENSEX, SCI, BOVESPA, RTSI, and KOSPI whereas the average daily return of NIKKEI index was lowest (0.04) among all. As far as the fluctuations in stock indices are concerned, BOVESPA had the highest volatility. The fact that the emerging markets are more volatile is evident from statistics on standard deviation of daily returns in these markets. In general, the developed market returns are less volatile with standard deviation lesser than the emerging markets. Negative skewness shows that the tail on the left side of the chance density function is longer than the right side, on the other hand, positive skewness shows that the tail on the right side is longer as compared to the left side. Kurtosis explains the distribution compared with normal distribution, whether it leptokurtic or platykurtic distribution. The all the selected indices except SENSEX are having platykurtic distribution whereas SENSEX is having leptokurtic distribution.  The stationarity test estimates of ADF test shows that all the variables follow I (1) level of integration.

 

Volatility clustering was found in each of the indices under the study at different levels. As the p – value of F statistics and observed R – squared was less than 1%, it indicated the existence of volatility clustering in the stock markets. The development process of these indices and mysterious behavioural aspects of stockholders may be the explanations behind different levels of volatility clustering.

For investigating the conditional volatility in the sample indices, GARCH (1, 1) model was adopted. The results of the GARCH (1, 1) analysis are shown in the Table - 2. The results shown that the p – value of the co-efficient of ARCH and GARCH was found to be less than 1%. These results show that there is a significant impact of residuals and GARCH term at 1st lag. The findings also show that the sum total of both independent terms was less than 1 but the projected decaying rate of volatility in the sample indices is different. Hence, the H01: There are no ARCH or GARCH errors, was rejected.

The decaying rate of volatility was found to be highest in SCI (9.72%), followed by NIKKEI (3.83%) and SENSEX (2.3%) and least was found in case of RTSI (1.59%). These results were supported by the previous studies like Karmakar (2005), Kumar & Dhankar (2009) and Gupta et al. (2013).

 

Asymmetric Volatility:

The analysis of asymmetric volatility indicated in Table – 3 shown that the p-value of slope co- efficient of ARCH term, GARCH term and the dummy variable was found to be significant. Therefore, H02: There is no asymmetric effect of shocks on conditional volatility, was rejected. These results indicated that volatility in the sample markets have a significant persistence level, it is affected by the unpredicted shocks and the stakeholders had asymmetric response to negative shocks as well as positive shocks.

E-GARCH (1, 1) Model:

The E-GARCH model indicated the effect of volatility persistence on imminent conditional volatility in the returns of the indices (Table – 4). Hence, H03: There is no effect of volatility persistence on imminent conditional volatility, was rejected. The results indicated that the conditional volatility of the sample indices had inverse relation with the sign of shock. The same relation was indicated by the coefficient of slope.

M-GARCH (1, 1) Model:

The results of the M-GARCH model indicated in Table – 5 depicted that the slope coefficient of the M-GARCH model equation was insignificant. Therefore, it can be inferred that there was no significant impact of conditional volatility of the indices returns on the conditional returns of these indices. Therefore, H04was not rejected. The results have shown that in high volatile periods, selected indices did not provide high returns as expected as per risk return trade-off theory. No relationship was found between the conditional volatility and conditional returns of these indices.

CONCLUSION:

The purpose of this paper is to study the volatility comparison and volatility spillover effects in India and major global indices using ARCH LM test and GARCH (1, 1) models. Furthermore the TGARCH, EGARCH and GARCH in mean or M GARCH models were applied on the residuals of the ARMA (1,1) model on the selected Indian and global stock indices for comparing the different components of the conditional volatility lying in the selected Indian stock index and global stock indices.

 

TGARCH Model estimates shows that the market have symmetric volatility due to positive as well as negative shocks in the system. The estimates also asserts that there exists significant asymmetric effect in the conditional volatility of returns of the selected indices. Moreover, the volatility in index returns due to the positive shock is significantly different from the volatility in index returns as a result of negative shocks. The results indicated that except SCI the slope coefficient of all other global indices was positive. This indicates that the impact of negative news is found to be significantly higher as compared to positive news. The estimates of EGARCH Model also confirms, that there exists significant volatility persistence in the conditional volatility in returns of all selected indices.

 

The GARCH-in-Mean Model is applied in the study in order to examine that how the price discovery process in the all-selected indices returns response to any change in conditional volatility. It can be concluded in the study that there exists no significant impact of conditional volatility in the all-selected Index returns on the conditional returns of the all-selected index returns. In high volatile periods, all selected index returns are not providing high returns as expected as per risk return trade-off theory. There is no relationship found between conditional volatility in the all-selected index returns and the conditional returns of the all-selected index returns.

 

In the study the volatility spillover between the Indian stock market and selected international stock markets are studied. In this study the researcher tries to investigate the presence of volatility spill over and dynamic conditional correlation between India and global indices. Volatility spillover was found to be in existence from Indian stock market to global indices and vice-versa. The coefficients were found to be positive which indicated the positive impact of volatility of one market on the other.

RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS:

These findings have substantial inferences and repercussions for portfolio managers, analysts and investors for investment assessments and decisions regarding asset allocations. The findings show that more consideration should be given to co-integration among markets and their volatility movements. Higher volatility will lead to higher level of fretfulness among market participants and investors, which will push them to be more risk-averse. Singhal and Ghosh (2016) suggested that investors tend to diversify their investment portfolio and hedging to maximize returns and minimize risks.

 

The results of the study also have pertinent effects for policy makers with respect to Indian stock market and the foreign countries. Market traders, hedgers and portfolio managers will be capable of understanding the interrelation of volatility association among the stock indices. According to Xuan, Vinh and Ellis (2018), “globalization and financial integration is the outgoing trend to promote further international connectedness.” The limitation of the study is that it is based on the daily closing price data and seasonal anomalies were ignored. Further Research can be conducted by taking into consideration other indices as well.
