Abstract

Financial economists treat volatility as a function of investors’ responses to new information. They generally presume that if an asset class is more volatile in one geographical region than in another, it is attributable to a difference in either the local version of the asset class or the economic environment. A case study involving high-yield bond volatility in Europe and the United States suggests that cultural differences may also contribute to disparities in volatility.
