Statistical properties of cross-correlation in the Korean stock market

Abstract: We investigate the statistical properties of the correlation matrix between individual stocks traded in the Korean stock market using the random matrix theory (RMT) and observe how these affect the portfolio weights in the Markowitz portfolio theory. We find that the distribution of the correlation matrix is positively skewed and changes over time. We find that the eigenvalue distribution of original correlation matrix deviates from the eigenvalues predicted by the RMT, and the largest eigenvalue is 52 times l… Show more

“…Note that the highest eigenvalue stands out from all the others, being more than three times bigger than the uppermost limit λ + of the theoretical distribution. This is in agreement with many other results, obtained for a great number of financial institutions to which this same formalism has been already applied [71]- [100]. It is believed that this eigenvalue corresponds to the action of a single market, which influences all the other members of the correlation matrix.…”

“…This approach was successfully applied to a large number of financial markets [71]- [100], and also to the relation between world markets [101]- [102]. This approach was also used in the construction of hierarchical structures between different assets of financial markets [103]- [142].…”

“…In the light of the extensive empirical evidences culled from underlying asset prices [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], clearly, the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model cannot explain certain properties of option prices in real markets, such as implied volatility smile and sneer behaviors. By contrast, however, an options pricing theory based on the Lévy process defined by a characteristic triplet (σ, ν, γ) can reproduce the features of option prices traded in real markets.…”
