Volatility Spillovers and Contagion During the Asian Crisis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH-M) model, we investigate volatility spillovers in six Southeast Asian stock markets around the time of the 1997 Asian crisis. We focus on interactions with the U.S. market as a world financial market, and with the Japanese market as a regional financial market. We also use bivariate GARCH-M models to examine the behavior of individual markets and their interactions with other markets in the region. All models lend support to the idea of the “Asian contagion,” which started in Thailand and rapidly spread to other markets.

East Asia and Europe During the 1997 Asian Collapse: A Clinical Study of a Financial Crisis
Asian stock markets are compared with European markets before and during the 1997 Asian crisis. The clinical issue is whether regional inter-dependence became larger around the crisis, fomenting investor fears of contagion and reducing asset values because of lower diversification potential. Statistical measures are developed to aid in this inquiry. We find that European and East Asian countrie...
متن کامل“Volatility Transmission between the stock and Currency Markets in Emerging Asia: the Impact of the Global Financial Crisis”
This paper examines volatility spillovers between the stock and currency markets of ten Asian economies in the period 2003 to 2014. To carry out this analysis, a multivariate asymmetric GARCH model is used. In general, our results present evidence of bidirectional volatility spillovers between both markets, independently of the individual country’s level of development. Additionally, our findin...
متن کاملMeasuring Financial Contagion: A Copula Approach
This paper studies financial contagion using a methodology that goes beyond the simple analysis of correlation breakdown, and, at the same time, is careful in the characterization of nonlinearity and asymptotic dependence. It also avoids discretion in the identification of the contagious episodes and in the definition of extreme outcomes. It accomplishes these objectives by the use of copulas w...
متن کاملFinancial Contagion, Vulnerability and Information: Empirical Identification
This paper proposes a new approach to modelling financial transmission effects. In simultaneous systems of stock returns, fundamental shocks are identified through heteroscedasticity. The size of contemporaneous spillovers is determined in the fashion of smooth transition regression by the innovations’ variances and (negative) signs, both representing typical crisis-related magnitudes. Thereby,...
متن کاملQuantitative measurement of the contagion effect between US and Chinese stock market during the financial crisis
In this paper, we study the quantitative measurement of contagion effect between US and Chinese stock market during the financial crisis by combining multifractal volatility (MFV) with the copula method. At first, we employ MFV to filter volatility of the twomarkets due to the existence of heteroskedasticity. Thenwe use an improved time-varying Clayton copula to estimate the dynamic lower tail ...
