1 Econ616 – Spring 2006 The Spillover Effects of Deposit Rate between Japan and the United States: a Bivariate GARCH Model Yan Hu

2 Objective  To employ the bivariate GARCH methodology to investigate the deposit rate transmission and its volatility spillover effects between the United States and Japan.

3 Motivation  Japan and the United States have strong economies and different banking systems.  The deposit rate transmission and spillover effects are generally overlooked in the existing literature.  To examine the spillover effects of variables with time-varying conditional variances as well as covariance, academicians use the multivariate GARCH model.

4 Literature Review (1)  International linkages of interest rate among financial markets --- Kirchgassner and Wolter(1987, 1993), Karfakis and Moschos (1990) and Fung and Lo (1995): examine international interest rate transmission primarily on conditional mean values, and find strong contemporaneous correlations and/or transmission of various interest rates.

5 Literature Review (2)  Using Multivariate GARCH model to examine the spillover effects of variables with time-varying conditional variances as well as covariance: --- Bollerslev (1990): the conditional volatility is lower and the coherence among exchange rates is higher in the post-EMS period. --- Hu, Jiang and Tsoukalas (2004): the volatility of log returns of European currencies had generally decreased.  Volatility spillover of economic variables --- Ross (1989): information transmission speed is more relevant to the conditional variance of an asset’s price changes. --- Kearney and Patton (2000): German mark plays a leading role in the transmission of volatility.

6 Multivariate Model  Y=βX H ij (t)=c ij +A ij H ij (t-1)+B ij u i (t)u j (t)  For bivariate, constant correlation:  BEK formulation (Engle and Kroner (1995)) directly imposes positive definiteness on the variance matrix: H(t)=C’C+B’u(t)u’(t)B+A’H(t-1)A

11 Hypothesis Test (1)  1. The basic bivariate GARCH (1,1) model is appropriate: 1.The basic bivariate GARCH model is appropriate:H1: β11 = β12 = β13 = β14 = β15 = β16 = β17 = β21 = β22 = β23 = β24 = β25 = β26 = β27 = α11 = α12 = α13 = α21 = α22 = α23 = 0 2.The variance is constant for Japan and the United States, respectively: 1.H2: α11 = α12 = α13 = 0 2.H3: α21 = α22 = α23 = 0

12 Hypothesis Test (2)  2. Log difference of deposit rate is transmitted at the mean level: 1.There are no spillover effects in the mean level between Japan and the United States:H10: β12 = β13 = β22 = β23 = 0 2.There is no spillover effect in the mean level from the United states to Japan:H11: β12 = β13 = 0 3.There is no spillover effect in the mean level from Japan to the United States:H12: β22 = β23 = 0;

13 Hypothesis Test (3)  3. There are deposit rate volatility spillover effects: 1.There is no deposit rate volatility spillover between Japan and the United States:H13: α13 = α23 = 0 2.There is no deposit rate volatility spillover from the United States to Japan:H14: α13 = 0 3.There is no deposit rate volatility spillover from Japan to the United States:H15: α23 = 0 T-stat = -3.95*** T-stat = -0.13

14 Conclusion  Bivariate GARCH (1,1) is appropriate for analyzing the deposit rate transmission and volatility spillover effects.  The deposit rate of one country is affected by domestic long-term government bond yield and money market rate.  Both at the mean level and the volatility level, the deposit rate transmission is from the United States to Japan.

15 Future Research  Include more countries into the model: multivariate GARCH model.  Compare the deposit rate transmission with other interest rate transmission.
