Transmission mechanisms of volatility between two crude oil markets (WTI and Brent markets) have drawn the attention of numerous academics and practitioners because they both play crucial roles in portfolio and risk management in crude oil markets. In this context, we examined the volatility linkages between two representative crude oil markets using a VECM and an asymmetric bivariate GARCH model. First, looking at the return transmission through the VECM test, we found a long-run equilibrium and bidirectional relationship between two crude oil markets. However, the estimation results of the GARCH-BEKK model suggest that there is unidirectional volatility spillover from the WTI market to the Brent market, implying that the WTI market tends to exert influence over the Brent market and not vice versa. Regarding asymmetric volatility transmission, we also found that bad news volatility in the WTI market increases the volatility of the Brent market. Thus, WTI information is transmitted into the Brent market, indicating that the prices of the WTI market seem to lead the prices of the Brent market.

This paper contributes to the ongoing controversy over price and volatility spillovers across countries by providing new evidence with the futures data of the S&P 500 and Nikkei 225 index futures contacts from January 3, 1990 to April 16, 1996. Based on the two-stage symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models we document that both the U.S. and the Japanese daytime returns significantly influence the subsequent overnight returns of the other market. We find no signs of volatility spillovers between two international markets with the symmetric model. However, with the asymmetric models, we find that the magnitude of foreign negative shocks are different from the positive ones. The findings generally suggest that the two markets are more sensitive to the bad news originating in the other market. This nature of transmission between two markets would have important implications to the arbitragers who are trying to exploit the short-term dynamics of price and volatility movements across two security markets.

This study investigates the nexus among the South Asian economies. Effects of shocks in the equity market of one country on the equity market of the other country are examined. For empirical analysis, the time series monthly data is used for the period from February 2013 to August 2019. The study focuses on the four larger economies of the region, namely, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. To investigate for asymmetric effects of positive and negative shocks, EGARCH model is used. The findings show the mix nature of the spillovers between the various pairs of countries. The equity market of Pakistan has two-way spillover effects with the equity market of Bangladesh, but has no association with the equity markets of India and Sri Lanka. The volatility in the equity market of India significantly influences the volatility of the financial markets of Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Similarly, the capital market of Sri Lanka has a negative association with the equity market of India as well as Bangladesh, but does not affect the equity market of any other country. These findings validate the argument in the literature that geographic location influences the nexus among equity markets. The findings are important for policy-makers and investors.

본 논문은 중국, 홍콩, 대만 주식시장들 사이의 동태적 상호의존성을 연구한다. 이를 위하여 아시아 금융위기가 그러한 상호의존성의 구조전환점인지를 검토하고, 이를 아시아 금융위기를 기준으로 세 가지 분석기간을 설정하여 수익률과 변동성의 정보전이효과를 분석한다. 전체기간을 대상으로 한 실증분석 결과 세 시장 수익률 평균과 비대칭 변동성 사이에 정보전이효과가 유의하게 존재한다는 증거가 발견되었다. 이는 세 시장 간에 정보전이와 비대칭적 변동성이 존재한다는 것을 암시한다. 또 수익률 평균과 비대칭 변동성 사이에 존재하는 정보전이효과의 크기가 금융위기 이후 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 사실은 아시아 금융위기 이후 중국, 홍콩, 대만 주식시장의 통합이 더 강화된 것을 의미한다. 특히 변동성 정보전이효과의 비대칭성이 금융위기 이후 더 심화된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 사실은 긍정적 충격보다 부정적 충격이 대중국 주식시장 변동성에 미치는 영향이 금융위기 이후 더 심화된 것을 의미한다. 결론적으로 아시아 금융위기가 중국, 홍콩, 대만 주식시장의 정보전이와 비대칭성을 심화시킨 것으로 판단된다.
