This article investigates the abnormal price movements that have the expiration day effects on the relationship between the KOSPI 200 stock index and its nearby futures prices in Korean financial markets. Unlike early studies that examined the abnormal price movements around the expiration day of derivatives contracts just separately in each financial market, this study examines whether the price relationship between the underlying asset and its nearby futures markets is associated with the expiration day of futures contracts using the concordance correlation coefficient, which allows us to analyze the agreement between two financial markets. Examining transaction price data from June 14, 1996 to December 14, 2006 shows that the concordance correlation coefficient between the KOSPI 200 stock index and its nearby futures prices increases as the expiration day of futures contracts comes closer. This result implies that the price relationship between the KOSPI 200 stock index and its futures markets is associated with the expiration day effects of futures contracts and that this effect can be captured by the concordance correlation coefficient.
