Abstract

Investigating (studying) how return and volatility of one market impacts on other markets is one of the important factors that help portfolio managers to optimize their portfolios and select the best assets. This paper investigates the existence of spillover effect in Tehran Stock Exchange. Specifically, we study the return and volatility spillover effects between 6 indices from August 2011 to March 2016 and Dynamic conditional Correlation model (DCC) has been employed in our study. Based on the results of this research, we reveal that the return and volatility of selected industries are impacting on each other. Some results suggest that the Pharmaceutical Industry has the most impact and the oil products, coke and nuclear fuel industry has the least impact on other industries.
