Abstract

The deep integration of global economic and financial activities accelerates the information transmission across financial markets. The cross-market information has become a crucial factor to influence the stock market fluctuation. This paper investigates the explanatory power and impacting mechanism of cross-market information flow in the prediction of Chinese stock market volatility. The empirical results show that the cross-market information flow exhibits significant linear and nonlinear influences on Chinese stock market volatility, and it also appears term-heterogeneous on the prediction accuracy, i.e., the cross-market information flow significantly contributes to medium-term and long-term prediction of Chinese stock market volatility, and the improvement of prediction accuracy is mainly due to nonlinear mechanism, whereas the cross-market information flow performs less value for short-term volatility prediction.
