Abstract
This study adopts a new technique from the area of Network Theory to analyze and understand the relationships among the stocks of KSE 100 Index in the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The stock networks were developed using the stock returns and stock returns volatility and the dynamic threshold method was used to extract the important relationships in the networks.Supported by literature, the findings of this study show that as the threshold limit was increased the relationships among stocks started to disappear andit is concluded that volatility networks provide more useful information about the stock network structures as compared to the returns networks.The implications of the study are that the PSX is a scale-free network where the entire stock market is influenced by only a few strong stocks in the market.
