Abstract

We use a three-step process employing multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis to study time-varying changes in the volatility and efficiency of Asian emerging equity markets. Our findings suggest that, in emerging markets, long-term stability and efficiency are linked to market development and liberalization. Our findings further suggest that financial crises have a negative impact on the efficiency of emerging markets but only in the short term.
