Has futures trading activity caused stock price volatility?

Article Abstract:

An empirical study was conducted to investigate the contribution of futures trading activity on stock market volatility. Multivariate Granger-causality tests were used in tandem with Akaike's final prediction criterion to analyze the effects. Results showed that futures trading activity does not significantly affect jump volatility and that the volatility of additional macroeconomic variables does not induce stock price volatility.
