Abstract:This study empirically examines the co integration of the Indian stock market with special reference to National Stock Exchange, with the major stock exchanges in the world. The study of the existence of interlink ages among international capital markets has considerable implications on determining the extent of portfolio diversification as well as macroeconomic policies of individual countries. The changing conditions in the international stock market have led global investors to think of other leading market… Show more
“…After testing the stationarity of the selected indices, the cointegrating relation among the selected indices is checked through the application of Johansen Cointegration test. To accept the presence cointegrating relationship between the variables, Trace and Max-Eigen Statistics value should be higher than the critical value at 5% significance level (Deo and Prakash, 2017).…”
PurposeThe study aims is to explore the cointegration level among major Asian stock indices from pre- COVID-19 to post COVID-19 times.Design/methodology/approachJohansen cointegration test is employed to know the long run relationship among the stock market indices of Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, India, Japan, China, Taiwan, Israel and South Korea. The empirical testing was done to analyze whether any significant change has been induced by the COVID-19 pandemic on the cointegrating relationship of the selected markets or not. Through statistics of trace test and maximum eigen value, total number of cointegrating equations present among all the indices during different study periods were analyzed.FindingsThe presence of cointegration was found during all the sample periods and the findings suggests that the selected stock markets are associated with each other in general. During COVID-19 crisis period the cointegration level was reduced and again it regained its original level in the next year and again reduced in the subsequent next year. So, the cointegrating relationship among selected stock market indices remains dynamic and no evidence of impact of COVID-19 on this dynamism was found.Originality/valueThe study has explored the level of cointegration among the major stock indices of Asian nations in the pre, during, post-crisis and the most recent periods. The interconnectedness of the stock markets during the COVID-19 times has been compared with similar periods in different years immediately preceding and succeeding the COVID-19 times which has not been done in any of the existing study.

“…The stationarity of series related to each country was tested by Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) test and the long-term convergence by the Johansen cointegration method. The results of the Johansson cointegration test in both tested methods of max-Eigen value prove three long-term convergence equations and Trace Static prove six long-term convergence equations as significant Deo and Prakash (2017). empirically examine the cointegration of the Indian stock market with the major stock exchanges in the world.…”

“…There exists a large number of studies which measures the comovements of different stock markets all over the world that are expected to be interlinked and sensitive if the countries belong to the same economic or political zone or economic status during the normal time period, namely, Parker and Rapp (1998), Johnson and Soenen (2009), Sen (2011), Azizi et al (2016), Deo and Prakash (2017) etc. The present paper looks into the contemporaneous movement of the stock market indices of the five most COVID-infected countries, namely, USA, Brazil, Russia, India and UK, which changed the rank in a number of infections but remained in top five in the world till the middle of June 2020.…”
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to look at the contemporaneous movement of the stock market indices of the five most COVID-infected countries, namely, the USA, Brazil, Russia, India and UK after the first wave along with market indices of the three least affected countries, namely, Hong Kong, South Korea and New Zealand during the first wave.Design/methodology/approachData have been collected from the website of Yahoo finance on daily closing values of five indices. Augmented Dickey–Fuller test with its three forms has been applied to check the stationarity of the select five indices at the level and at the first difference before the pandemic, during the pandemic and post-first wave of the pandemic. Johansen cointegration test is applied to find out that there is no cointegration among the select five indices.FindingsThe five countries do neither fall in the same economic and political zone nor do they have the same economic status. But during the period of pandemic and the new-normal period, the cointegration is very distinct. The developing and developed nations thus stood at an indifferentiable stage of the economic crisis which is well reflected in their stock markets. However, the least three COVID-affected countries do not show any cointegration during the pandemic time.Originality/valueThe comovement even seen during the normal time in the other studies is not compared to a similar period in earlier years. But, in this study to look into the exclusive effect of COVID pandemic, the period most affected with it is compared with the period after it and that in the immediate past year had no effect.
