Modelling Volatility Spillovers, Cross-Market Correlation and Co-Movements Between Stock Markets in European Union: An Empirical Case Study

Abstract

Purpose – This article examines volatility spillovers, cross-market correlation, and comovements between selected developed and former communist emerging stock markets in the European Union. Modelling the behavioural dynamics of European stock markets represents a vital topic in a fascinating context, but also a current challenge of great interest. Research Methodology – We propose to estimate and model volatility using GARCH family models for selected European markets. We aim to explore volatility movement, presence of leverage effect/ asymmetry in selected financial markets. Findings – The econometric approach includes GARCH (1, 1) models for the sample period from 1, January 2000 to 12, July 2018. The empirical results revealed that exists a significant presence of volatility clustering in all selected financial markets except Poland and Croatia. The empirical analysis also indicates that both recent and past news generate a considerable impact on present volatility. Research limitations – Our empirical study has certain limitations regarding the relatively small number of only eight stock markets. Practical implications – It can provide a useful perspective for researchers, academics, investors, investment managers, decision-makers, and scientists. Originality/Value – The empirical analysis is focused on 8 European stock markets, which are classified as developed (Spain, UK, Germany, and France) and emerging (Poland, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania).

The Co‐Movement between International and Emerging Stock Markets Using ANN and Stepwise Models: Evidence from Selected Indices

“…e output supports that world stock exchange indices influence the Ukrainian index. According to [39], they examined the volatility, crossmarket correlation, and co-movements between developed (Spain, the UK, Germany, and France) and emerging (Poland, Hungary, Croatia, and Romania) stock markets in the European Union. e findings show significant existence of volatility clustering among all the eight markets except for Croatia and Poland.…”

Modelling the Conditional Co-Movements of Pakistan and International Stock Markets

“…According to the basic modern portfolio theory, investing in various types of securities reduces risk. The idea of portfolio diversification was expanded on by Das et al (2018) who advocated an approach that diversifies the portfolio by including foreign markets with a low correlation (Paramati et al, 2016;Trivedi et al, 2021). A number of international financial markets have been investigated in recent years by researchers These studies showed that there were a wide range of relationships between foreign stock markets (Nguyen & Lam, 2017).…”

Financial Contagion Patterns in Individual Economic Sectors. The Day-of-the-Week Effect from the Polish, Russian and Romanian Markets

“…They show that financial contagion has been identified on these markets between 1998 and 2014, but the process is stronger during crisis periods. Trivedi et al (2021) and Spulbar et al (2020) also study the evolution of comovements for a selected number of developed and emerging markets (8 and 12, respectively). However, they employ a different approach, based on the GARCH family models which investigate the presence of the leverage effect.…”
