In this study, we investigated volatility transmission effects be-tween the US and six Asian markets — China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan — using a bivariate GARCH-BEKK model. We also assessed the impact of shocks on stock market volatility using the volatility impulse...

The Central European countries became members of the European Union (EU) in May 2004. Has their accession into the EU also resulted in a stronger financial integration with the global economy in general and with the "old" EU countries in particular? Based on a cointegration analysis applied to...

Although real integration conceptually plays an important role for the comovement of international equity markets, documenting this link empirically has proven challenging. We construct a new dataset of theory-guided, relevant measures of bilateral trade in final and intermediate goods and...

We employ a wavelet approach and conduct a time-frequency analysis of dynamic correlations between pairs of key traded assets (gold, oil, and stocks) covering the period from 1987 to 2012. The analysis is performed on both intra-day and daily data. We show that heterogeneity in correlations...

This paper extends wavelet methodology to handle co-movement dynamics of multivariate time series via moving weighted regression on wavelet coefficients. The concept of wavelet local multiple correlation is used to produce one single set of multi-scale correlations along time, in contrast with...

Using wavelet coherence framework on five major cryptocurrencies and three major stock market indices over the COVID-19 period from January 1st, 2020 to February 8th, 2021, our study concludes that SSEC index liquidity co-moves with liquidity of all the cryptocurrencies, while liquidities of...

Cycles in the behavior of stock markets have been widely documented. There is an increasing body of literature on whether stock markets anticipate business cycles or its turning points. Several recent studies assert that financial integration impacts positively on business cycle comovements of...
