Abstract


Both parametric and semiparametric GARCH in mean estimations find a positive but insignificant relationship between expected stock returns and volatility in emerging stock markets. The 1997–1998 global emerging market crisis seems to induce changes in GARCH parameters.


Key words : emerging markets; stock returns; volatility; semiparametric GARCH
JEL classification : G12; G15; C14
