Globalization, liberalization, and the rapid advancement of telecommunications technology have enhanced the linkage among international financial markets. This study provides insight into the nature and degree of interaction of three international stock markets - the US, Japan and Taiwan. The transmission mechanism of return and volatility spillovers across these three stock markets is investigated through a multivariate EGARCH model. Our results reveal that the US market plays the information leadership role and there are interactive return spillover effects between the US and Japanese markets. An analysis of before and after the Asian financial crisis shows that the linkages and interdependencies among the three markets have increased in the post-crisis period. Furthermore, asymmetric effects are also found in the information transmission mechanism among these three countries. |
