| Abstract: | Conflicting results have reported regarding the existence of a weekend effect in S&P 500 index futures. Given the numerous evidence in recent research that asset returns are affected by conditional heteroskedasticity and have fattailed distributions, this paper re-examines the existence of a weekend effect in S&P 500 index futures by using a GARCH model. The results generated by the new methodology support the conclusion on Cornell that there is no weekend effect in S&P 500 index futures. |
