Abstract
This article provides empirical evidence on the intraday relation between
spot volatility and trading volume in the Spanish stock index futures
market. GARCH methodology is used to estimate spot volatility. We analyze
the potential relation between spot and futures trading volume and
spot volatility by estimating the corresponding conditional density functions
as proposed in Quah (1997). Our results reveal no significant link
between those variables. Similar findings arise when expected and unexpected
volume is considered. Our results suggest that derivative market is
not a force behind episodes of significant spot jump volatility. Β© 2003
