Research Methodology
Data used in the study is of secondary nature. Nifty, S&P 500, FTSE 100, Nikkei 225 and Shanghai Composite are the sources of information which describes widely about stock markets in India, US, UK, Japan and China . Here monthly prices of all the 5 indexes are taken for the study purpose for about a year from April 2011 to March 2012. In general, volatility pattern in emerging market is different from that of the developed markets. In this study, an attempt is made to examine volatility behavior across markets. The study begins by analyzing the time series of volatility. Standard deviation is used as a proxy for variability of stock prices. I will use descriptive statistics and ARCH model (Autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity) and its extension GARCH model for studying volatility in the stock markets. The appeal of the ARCH model is that it captures both volatility clustering and unconditional return distributions with heavy tails. The estimation of GARCH model involves the joint estimation of mean and a conditional variance equation. The GARCH (1, 1) model which is stated as follows. Yt = xt + t Where the above is the conditional mean equation with xt being the vector of exogenous variables. The conditional variance 2t can be stated as follows. 2t = + 2t-1 + 2t-1 Where is a constant term, 2t-1 is the ARCH term and 2t-1 is the GARCH term
Expected outcomes
After comparing the Indian Stock Market with that of US, UK, Japan and China the outcomes that can be expected about the volatility in the Indian Stock Market are as follows economic growth of other countries, emerging market valuations, crude oil prices, Foreign Direct Investment, Capital Spending, Equity supply, Government policies, Politics, Domestic Risk, US Fed Interest Rates, Indian Industry growth.
