| dc.description.abstract | Research on the relationships between spot volatility and trading exchange in the financial markets has been and still is the heart of great attention by scholars of econo-metrics, finance and statistics. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the movements of the underlying spot volatility and the CBOE Volatility Index, known as VIX Index, in the American Stock exchange market after the introduction of linear and non-linear derivatives trading activities on the Standard & Poor’s 500. In order to state if deriva-tives trading affect the volatility of the indices, traditional measures and generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) specification are settled on a in-dex and asset framework. | sv |
