Abstract

This paper studies the propagation mechanisms that may explain the regional contagion of the Asian stock market crisis of 1997-1998. Contagion is defined as non linearity in the shock propagation between markets. We estimate a full information model from January 1994 to October 2003 on the stock markets of four Asian countries: Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and South Korea. The results show that there exist marked links pointing to the interdependence of the stock markets of the studied economies. During the Asian crisis, a structural break in normal links occurred, which highlighted the role of non linearities in spreading the shocks.
