An Empirical Investigation of Risk-Return Relations in Chinese Equity Markets: Evidence from Aggregate and Sectoral Data

Abstract

This paper investigates the risk-return relations in Chinese equity markets. Based on a TARCH-M model, evidence shows that stock returns are positively correlated with predictable volatility, supporting the risk-return relation in both aggregate and sectoral markets. Evidence finds a positive relation between stock return and intertemporal downside risk, while controlling for sentiment and liquidity. This study suggests that the U.S. stress risk or the world downside risk should be priced into the Chinese stocks. The paper concludes that the risk-return tradeoff is present in the GARCH-in-mean, local downside risk-return, and global risk-return relations.

Market Efficiency and News Dynamics: Evidence from International Equity Markets

“…However, the EPU innovations from respective local markets and the global market are included in the variance equation to capture the local news shock and contagious effect from global markets (Chiang et al 2007;Forbes 2012;Bali and Cakici 2010). Finally, following Nelson (1991); Li et al (2005); Chiang and Zhang (2018), the error series is assumed to follow the GED distribution, specified as ε t Ω t−1~G ED(0,σ 2 t , ν), which accommodates the thickness of the tails of a distribution.…”
