Abstract

Using unique minute-by-minute data on six major country implied volatility series, we examine the spillovers and the leadership positions of the global stock exchanges through measuring and assigning the contributions of innovations among their implied volatilities. The entire analyses are performed on synchronized transactions. A hybrid leadership methodology that is computationally efficient is employed. In nearly all cases, the findings indicate a clear relative leadership position for one or more exchanges. These, in turn, provide important insights into the operations of the markets and convey the dynamic process among them. We also address the transmission mechanism and volatility efficiency.
