Abstract

The equity futures market was opened in May 6th, 2008 for the first time in Korea but nonetheless it has rarely been researched since. In this paper, we examine whether the market, combined with the stock market, its underlying market, has been offering any arbitrage opportunities to market participants for the period of May 6th, 2008 to March 11, 2010, focusing on the two futures contracts of Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motors, the two most actively traded ones. Our findings are as follows. First, there have been arbitrage opportunities for the two futures in either direction. Second, the average time period for an arbitrage opportunity was two seconds so arbitrage transactions were feasible indeed. Third, nevertheless, some arbitrage transactions ended up with a loss because the estimated spot price at maturity to carry out an arbitrage trading turned out to be significantly different from the realized one. The discrepancy in these two prices causes a seemingly very safe arbitrage trading a risky one. This risky feature of an arbitrage trading has never been addressed in depth in a paper or a book before, and is a major contribution of this paper.

Abstract

This paper investigates a retrospective on the Journal of Derivatives and Quantitative Studies (JDQS) on its 30th anniversary based on bibliometric. JDQSs yearly publications, citations, impact factors, and centrality indices grew up in early 2010s, and diminished in 2020. Keyword network analysis reveals the JDQS's main keywords including behavioral finance, implied volatility, information asymmetry, price discovery, KOSPI200 futures, volatility, and KOSPI200 options. Citations of JDQS articles are mainly driven by article age, demeaned age squared, conference, nonacademic authors and language. In comparison between number of views and downloads for JDQS articles, we find that recent changes in publisher and editorial and publishing policies have increased visibility of JDQS.
