Methodology 3.1. Cointegration test and vector error correction model First, we test the market efficiency hypothesis (MEH) in Taiwan index futures market by examining whether the cointegrated relationship (i.e., long-run equilibrium relationship) among futures, spot prices and several macroeconomic factors exists before and after the opening up of futures market to QFII. Given that the five variables are integrated of order one, the cointegration test proposed by Johansen and Juselius (1990) is performed. If there are cointegrated relationships among futures, spot prices and several macroeconomic factors, then we suggest that some market inefficiency exists in Taiwan index futures market. Second, for cointegrated series, Granger causality tests need to be performed in the corresponding VECM framework according to the Granger Representation Theorem proposed by Engle and Granger (1987). This study employs the VECM to examine whether the lead-lag relationship between the futures and spot markets differs for the pre- and post-QFII periods. To control effects of macroeconomic factors on the relationship between the futures and spot markets, we incorporate the macroeconomic factors into the VECM. Therefore, this paper adopts the following VECM7 framework with five variables to study the lead-lag relationship between the futures and spot markets for the pre-QFII, post-QFII, and whole periods, respectively Additionally, in order to test the impact of structural change due to the introduction of QFII on the short term dyn
