Intradaily Periodicity and Volatility Spillovers between International Stock Index Futures Markets

This paper examines short-run information transmission between the U.S. and U.K. markets using the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 index futures. Ultrahighfrequency futures data are employed - which have a number of advantages over the low-frequency spot data commonly used in previous studies - in establis...
