Price discovery in the German equity index derivatives markets

Article Abstract:

A comparative analysis among the price discovery processes of Deutscher Aktienindex (DAX) index securities was conducted in an effort to assess the the stock index, index futures and index options in Germany. Statistical results indicate that DAX stock index futures (FDAX) and DAX are more useful compared to the DAX stock index options (ODAX) in terms of generating new financial information. It was also shown that both the FDAX and DAX respond more efficiently to information changes than the ODAX, which has been also proven to possess relatively low informational functionality. These results imply that all three markets are linked in the context of information, which is in turn, driven by arbitrage. They also confirm previous hypotheses that stock index futures and index options both contribute to the price discovery process in a pronounced manner.
