This paper employs a conditional version of the International Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) to investigate the determinants of regional integration of stock markets in the Latin America over the period 1996-2008. This model allows for three sources of time-varying risks: common regional...

In this paper we test for the existence of equity market contagion originating from the United States to OECD markets over the period from 01/01/1990 to 01/11/2010 characterized by several episodes of financial crises. Our empirical analysis relies on the use of an ICAPM model which has three...

Over recent years, several emerging market regions have actively taken part in globalisation movements and world market integration. However, the financial integration processes appear to vary over time, and differ considerably from one region to another. This paper investigates intraregional...

This paper attempts to evaluate the time-varying integration of emerging markets from a regional perspective, by using a conditional version of the international capital asset pricing model (ICAPM) allowing for dynamic changes in the degree of market integration, global market risk premium,...

Two integrated financial markets are generally subjected to common shocks revealing that commonalities in funda- mentals drive the underlying return processes. In such a case, volatilities should share a long-run component although their transitory

This article contributes to the literature on stock market integration by developing and estimating a capital asset pricing model with segmentation effects in order to assess stock market segmentation and its effects on risk premia at the regional level.

We contribute to the finance literature in two main ways. First, we present a theoretical capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to price assets in different market structures. Second, we use our model to analyze whether when markets are partially segmented

We analyze the reactions of the returns of four European stock markets to sovereign credit rating changes by Fitch, Moody’s, and Standard and Poor’s (S&P) during the period from June 2008 to June 2012 using panel regression equations. We find that (i) upgrades and downgrades affect both own...
