Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the contagion effect between the equity markets in some of the CEE countries, namely Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Bulgaria, as compared to the Euro Zone. In this paper, we focus on the volatility transmission during the crisis period using the spillover index introduced by Diebold and Yilmaz (2009, 2012), which measures both total and directional volatility spillovers in a generalized VAR framework that eliminates the possible dependence of results on ordering. Also, we have used a DCC-GARCH approach to follow conditional correlations between markets. Because all our initial expectations were confirmed, the results should be taken into consideration by investors, who should take caution when investing in the CEE equity markets as well as when diversifying their portfolios to minimize risk.
