    Purpose: This paper examined Financial intra-market linkages (dynamic relationship and volatility spillovers) effects between the Commercial banks and other financial sector segments (Insurance and capital Markets) in Kenya and the impact of this transmission on Financial Inclusion. Method: This study evaluates the effect of intra-market linkages on financial inclusion using Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (BVAR) using monthly data from Kenyan market during the period January 2004 - December 2016. Impulse-response analysis and forecast error variance decomposition was used to investigate this intra-market linkages and their causal effect to financial inclusion. Findings: Results indicate that there is significant market interactions and interlinkages with significant shocks transmission moving from banks to other markets. Interest rates shocks transmission affected all markets. This means that monetary policy transmission as expected trickles down to the entire financial sector. The study also found out that, Positive shocks from credit impacts positively on lending rate and the capital markets performance implying banking mechanism to reward increased loan uptake at cheaper prices and hence creating cash flow that spills over to more investment on the securities exchange. Policy recommendation: The study recommends that policy makers to design policies that help minimize the adverse impact of volatility/shocks but create opportunities for growth on each market o foster price stability and increase investments through financial inclusion.

    In a regime of floating FX rates and open economies, it is important to understand the way through which FX rates, volatility, and trading volume interrelate. To uncover this, we provide a simple theoretical framework to jointly explore these factors in a multi-currency environment. Through the use of a unique intraday data representative for the global FX market, the empirical analysis validates our theoretical predictions: (i) more disagreement increases FX trading volume, volatility, and illiquidity, (ii) stronger commonalities pertain to more efficient (arbitrage-free) currencies, and (iii) the Amihud (2002) measure, for which we provide a theoretical underpinning, is effective in measuring FX illiquidity. Not only do these findings support an integrated analysis of FX rate evolution and risk, but our work also offers a straightforward method to measure FX illiquidity and commonality. For investors, these insights should increase the efficiency of trading and risk analysis. For policy makers, our work highlights the developments of FX global volume, volatility, and illiquidity across time and currencies, which can be important for the implementation of monetary policy and financial stability

    We apply the GARCH-MIDAS framework to forecast the daily, weekly, and monthly volatility of five highly capitalized Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, Ripple, and Stellar) as well as the Cryptocurrency index CRIX. Based on the prediction quality, we determine the most important exogenous drivers of volatility in Cryptocurrency markets. We find that the Global Real Economic Activity outperforms all other economic and financial drivers under investigation. We also show that the Global Real Economic Activity provides superior volatility predictions for both, bull and bear markets. In addition, the average forecast combination results in low loss functions. This indicates that the information content of exogenous factors is time-varying and the model averaging approach diversifies the impact of single drivers

    We analyze connectedness between the real and financial sectors of the U.S. economy. Using the weekly ADS index of the Philadelphia FED (the widely used business conditions indicator) to represent the real side, we find that during times of financial distress and/or business cycle turning points the direction of connectedness runs from the real sector to financial markets. The ADS index is derived from a model containing a measure of term structure along with real variables, therefore, it might not be the best representative of the real activity to be used in the connectedness analysis. As an alternative, we derive a real activity index (RAI) from a dynamic factor model of the real sector variables only. The behavior of RAI over time is quite similar to that of the ADS index. When we include RAI to represent the real side of the economy in the connectedness analysis, the direction of net connectedness reverses: financial markets generate positive net connectedness to the real side of the economy.

    Using a unique dataset of all Swedish housing transactions over the 2009-2017 period, we find that an increase in manufacturing's share of employment is positively associated with house price growth volatility and negatively associated with risk-adjusted housing returns. Both effects appear to be related to manufacturing's impact on firm concentration and employment volatility. Moreover, as we demonstrate in an application, our results have implications for portfolio choice. They also suggest that the manufacturing decline since 1970 could account for a 32% reduction in house price volatility in Sweden, and similar reductions in the U.S., U.K., and Japan.
