Givers or Recipients? Co-Movements between Stock Markets of CEE-3 and Developed Countries

Abstract

In this paper, time-varying co-movements between the stock markets of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and the capital markets of developed countries in stable and crisis periods are studied. The parameters of the VAR-AGDCC-GARCH (Vector Autoregressive- Asymmetric Generalized Dynamic Conditional Correlation-Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity) model are estimated, and volatility spillovers are calculated. The evidence suggests that the level of correlation between stock return shocks of Central and Eastern European countries increased significantly in the period of financial turmoil and was high in the period of the US sub-prime crisis, as well as during the euro area sovereign debt crisis. After the announcement of the OMT (Outright Monetary Transactions) program, the evolution of the stock market indices in Central and Eastern Europe countries (CEECs) have followed different paths. An analysis of the volatility spillovers indicates that CEECs are the recipients of volatility. In the period of 2004–2019, they received much volatility—from Germany and the US, in particular. They also received much volatility from Spain during the euro area sovereign debt crisis. After 2012, volatility transmission to Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary dropped significantly.

Linear and Nonlinear Effects in Connectedness Structure: Comparison between European Stock Markets

“…The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a growth in European financial market risk. These findings confirm those of earlier studies, such as Ferreira [ 58 ] and Grabowski [ 59 ]. An analysis of the volatility spillovers indicates that CEE markets are the recipients of volatility.…”

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

“…Many researchers have studied the prediction of stock markets using different macroeconomic factors and feature issues [14][15][16]. However, few researchers tried to predict the performance of stock markets through the integration between different international and national markets' indices [10,17,18]. Besides, limited scholars focused on integrating with international markets on either developing markets or Jordan's financial market (ASE) [6,19,20].…”

Influence of German Stock Market on Stock Markets of V4 Countries

“…Syllignakis a Kouretas (2011) dospeli k záveru, že počas globálnej fi nančnej krízy sa štatisticky významne zvýšila korelácia akciových trhov USA a Nemecka s akciovými trhmi krajín CEE. K podobnému záveru dospeli aj Harkmann (2014) a Grabowski (2019). Taktiež Carausu et al (2018) potvrdili výskyt "fi nančnej nákazy" na väčšine akciových trhov regiónu CEE v období globálnej fi nančnej krízy.…”
