For this purpose, the researchers used the daily data of 90 mutual funds during the period from March 2011 to March 2016 through "hidden co-integration approach and CECM. The study’s contribution is the implementation of hidden co-integration technique which­ enables researchers to identify the reaction­ of heterogeneous changes amongst two time series. Although, the results showed a hidden ­co-integration relationship between time series of mutual fund flows and TEDPIX, the findings of the study did not approve the standard co-integration relation amongst two time series. More specifically, there is a long-run relationship between positive components of flows and indexes, and another long-run relationship between the negative components and indices.     UR - https://jfr.ut.ac.ir/article_66361.html L1 - https://jfr.ut.ac.ir/article_66361_30dd8c65ea1780c852d062f6a30abbb3.pdf ER -
