“…A number of studies focused on the comparison between the Asian, namely, Japan, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, China, or ASEAN-5 countries and the U.S. and the U.K. stock markets and generally found evidence of volatility spillover linkages especially in the post-crisis periods (Kim, 2005;In, 2007;Alsubaie & Najand, 2009;Moon & Yu, 2010;Arifin & Syahruddin, 2011;Gebka, 2012;Haixia & Shiping, 2013;Zheng & Zuo, 2013). There is also overwhelming evidence corroborating the significance of volatility spillovers of European stock markets in the light of oil prices (Giannellis, Kanas, & Papadopoulos, 2010;Arouri, Jouini, & Nguyen, 2011Antonakakis, 2012;Tamakoshi & Hamori, 2013;Reboredo, 2014). More comprehensive studies carried out extensive volatility spillover comparisons among different countries (Serra, 2011;Korkmaz, Çevik, & Atukuren, 2012;Krause & Tse, 2013;Nazlioglu, Erdem, & Soytas, 2013;Salisu & Mobolaji, 2013;Valadkhani, Harvie, & Karunanayake, 2013).…”
