MONGOLIAN AND WORLD EQUITY MARKETS: VOLATILITIES AND CORRELATIONS
Eurasian Economic Review, 2013
After more than 10 years since the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), this paper studies how variances and correlations have evolved in four SCO countries' equity markets (China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia) relative to Japanese, US and EU markets. We focus on the Mongolian equity market. We trace stock market co-movements of Mongolia and SCO member countries to the world market since the inauguration of the SCO in 2001. We also take into account the effects of recent world financial crisis in the region. As compared to the increasing global trend of market integration among countries, we don't find any significant contagion among SCO countries in the first half of sample periods. After 2005, market integrations among SCO countries are evident.

This research aims to investigate volatility transmitted from the world market to ten Asian and Eastern European stock markets and from major stock market in the region to the rest of stock markets by considering their degree of integrations. To assess this, we apply GARCH(p,q) model and involve dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model to generate the dynamic degree of integration. The monthly market indices data over the period from May 2002 to March 2018 are taken from 11 markets-5 Asian ones (China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and the Philippines), 5 Eastern European (Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine), and the world market data. Furthermore, the volatility spillover was analysed during the global financial crisis period, from May 1, 2008 to May 29, 2009. The findings show that volatility spillovers from the world and the major regional markets to domestic stock markets are conditional on the degree of integrations. Specifically, there is no volatility spillover from the world and regional major markets on segmented
Volatility spillovers between the Chinese and world equity markets
We propose measures of the directional volatility spillovers between the Chinese and world equity markets based on Diebold and Yilmaz's (2011b) forecast-error variance decompositions in a generalized vector autoregressive framework. It was found that the US market had dominant volatility impacts on other markets during the subprime mortgage crisis. The other markets were also very volatile, and driven by bad news, their massive volatilities were transmitted back to the US market. The volatility of the Chinese market has had a significantly positive impact on other markets since 2005. The volatility interactions among the markets of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan were more prominent than those among the Chinese, Western, and other Asian markets were. The major correction of the Chinese stock market between February and July 2007 significantly contributed to the volatility surges of other markets. Owing to the restrictions on foreign investment, the Chinese stock market was not considerably affected in terms of market volatility during the subprime mortgage crisis.
Asian Equity Markets: A Time Series Analysis of their Co-integration
Business and Economics Journal
This research examines the time series characteristics of stock price indices for Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore Equity Markets or stock exchanges during the lengthy period from before 1997, 1997 to 2007 and after 2007. Specifically, we calculate the rate of return and the volatility of return for all three markets and estimate co-movement of the three markets. We find that the average rate of return varies dramatically for the three equity markets and across time. Further, we find that stock prices are positively serially correlated in general. In the multivariate regressions, we find that there is little evidence to show that either the rate of return in certain markets universally affects the rate of return in other equity markets. We suggest based on the evidence that the three markets are co-integrated but not universally across time and with each other in pairwise dimensions. Lastly, we studied and made conclusions concerning the mean and variation in the volatility of the rates of return in the three equity markets studied.
China’s Stock Market Integration with a Leading Power and a Close Neighbor
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2000
Current integration and co-movement among international stock markets has been boosted by increased globalization of the world economy, and profit-chasing capital surfing across borders. With a reputation as the fastest growing economy in the world, China's stock market has continued gaining momentum during recent years and incurred growing attention from academicians, as well as practitioners. Taking into account economic and geographical considerations, the US and Hong Kong are considerably the most comparable stock markets to China. The usual vector error correction model (VECM) could overlook the long memory feature of cointegration residual series, which can in turn exert bias on the resulting inferences. To overcome its limitations, we employ a fractionally integrated VECM (FIVECM) in this paper to investigate the long-term cointegration relations binding China's stock market to the aforementioned stock markets. In addition, by augmenting the FIVECM with multivariate GARCH model, the return transmission and volatility spillover between market return series were revealed simultaneously. Our empirical results show that China's stock market is fractionally cointegrated with the two markets, and it appears that China's stock market has stronger ties with its neighboring Hong Kong market than with the world superpower, the US market.

This research examined the time series characteristics of stock price indices for Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York (NYSE) and London (FTSE) equity markets or stock exchanges during the period of 1991 to 2012. Specifically, we calculate the rate of return and the volatility of return for all the markets and estimate the serial correlation and co-movement of the four markets. We find that the average rate of return varies dramatically for the four equity markets and across time. Further, we find that stock prices are positively serially correlated in general. In the multivariate regressions, we find that there is little evidence to show that either the rate of return in certain markets universally affects the rate of return in other equity markets. It suggests that the four markets are co-integrated but not universally across time and with each other in pairwise dimensions. Lastly, we studied and made conclusions concerning the mean and variation in the volatility of the rates of return in ...
Volatility spillovers from the Chinese stock market to economic neighbours
Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, 2013
This paper examines whether there is evidence of spillovers of volatility from the Chinese stock market to its neighbours and trading partners, including Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and USA. China's increasing integration into the global market may have important consequences for investors in related markets. In order to capture these potential effects, we explore these issues using an Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) return equation. A univariate GARCH model is then adopted to test for the persistence of volatility in stock market returns, as represented by stock market indices. Finally, univariate GARCH, multivariate VARMA-GARCH, and multivariate VARMA-AGARCH models are used to test for constant conditional correlations and volatility spillover effects across these markets. Each model is used to calculate the conditional volatility between both the Shenzhen and Shanghai Chinese markets and several other markets around the Pacific Basin Area, including Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore, during four distinct periods, beginning 27 August 1991 and ending 17 November 2010. The empirical results show some evidence of volatility spillovers across these markets in the pre-GFC periods, but there is little evidence of spillover effects from China to related markets during the GFC. This is presumably because the GFC was initially a US phenomenon, before spreading to developed markets around the globe, so that it was not a Chinese phenomenon.
Dynamics of integration in East Asian equity markets
Journal of the Japanese and International Economies
This paper investigates the dynamics of integration in East Asian equity markets between 1995 and 2013 using a smooth-transition correlation GARCH model. Our results show that East Asian equity market integration among China and other countries has increased significantly since 2007, whereas that among other East Asian equity markets excluding China increased significantly in an earlier period from 1999 to 2001. Additionally, we find that increasing integration has been mostly caused by correlation increases in after-trading hours. These results suggest that stock prices in East Asia are sensitive to Europe and U.S. stocks because Europe and U.S. investors were actively investing in East Asian stocks. Indeed, the periods reflect striking increases in integration that correspond approximately to the start of intensive Europe and U.S. investment activity in East Asian stock markets.
Comovements between Chinese and global stock markets: evidence from aggregate and sectoral data
Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, 2015
This paper investigates the dynamic correlations between Chinese stock returns and global markets at both the market and sectoral levels. Statistics suggest that stockreturn correlations across markets are time-varying and display structural breaks. An upward shift in stock return correlations is associated with China's adoption of a higher degree of financial liberalization. The evidence indicates that the stock returns of the financial sector exhibit the highest correlation across countries among 10 sectors. Low correlations are present in the Health Care, Telecommunications, and Utilities sectors. The correlations are closely tied to geographic location: the correlation with Hong Kong is the highest, followed by South Korea, Japan, Europe and the US. The time-series stock-return correlations are positively correlated with the conditional variance and variance premiums.
