“…The dynamic nature of contagion has been the focus of the recent literature with the application of different econometric methodologies. Among them, researchers employ methodologies such as multivariate GARCH (Gardini and De Angelis, 2002;Arestis, Maria Caporale, Cipollini, & Spagnolo, 2005;Celik, 2012;Chiang, Jeon, & Li, 2007;Hemche et al, 2016;Moussa, 2014;Phylaktis & Xia, 2009), regime switching models (Guo et al, 2011;Kenourgios, Samitas, & Paltalidis, 2011;Dimitrou and Kenourgios, 2013), copulas (Aloui, Aïssa, and Nguyen, 2012), logit-probit models (Dungey & Gajurel, 2015;Luchtenberg & Vu, 2015) and VAR models (Ahlgren & Antell, 2010;Favero & Giavazzi, 2002;Guo et al, 2011;Longstaff, 2010;Rigobon, 2003;Samarakoon, 2011).…”
