Abstract

This research explores the predictive power of the India VIX (volatility index) in emerging markets from April 2009 to March 2011. The results of the study show that the models including both the volatility indicator and the option market information have a stronger predictive power. With respect to the trading information from different types of investors in option markets, the trading information from the foreign institutional investors in option markets demonstrates a significantly positive relationship with the stock market volatility. In addition, the results of this paper also reveal that the India VIX GARCH volatility forecasting and stock index options are a strong indicator of future stock market volatility. The GARCH outperforms the historical volatility and the VIX volatility forecast in assessing the activities of Indian capital market.

Abstract

This paper aims to study the effect of gender on adoption of the stress management techniques and to compare which of the technique is best as per the views of the respondents from the academia. This quantitative study uses a questionnaire approach to assess the stress management views of academicians of Indore city. For this a sample of 33 academicians were taken. From the results we have found that gender does not affect the efficacy of stress management techniques. We have also conclude that the four stress management techniques have same effect and the difference which is appeared in data is due to chance or is due to fluctuations of sampling. It will be helpful to academicians to improve efficiency and maintain work life balance as well as minimize the stress on the workplace. Whilst a great deal of research has been conducted into the stress management and the techniques, little has examined the stress management of academic people, techniques used and the congruency of the techniques.
