Inter-Linkages between Stock Exchanges: A Study of BRIC Nations

Abstract: Internationalization of capital markets gives opportunities to the investors to invest their money in the country of their choice, not just in their own country. The relationships between international stock markets have become increasingly important in recent times. This paper studies the inter-linkages between stock markets of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Daily closing levels of the benchmark indices in the three countries are taken for a period of 1 April 2005 to 31 March 2010. While line charts, co integration and unit-root test are applied to check the stationary nature of the series; Granger’s causality model, Vector Auto Regression (VAR) model and Variance Decomposition Analysis are performed to find out the linkages between the markets under study. The VAR models also confirm the results of Granger’s Causality model.

Are the Stock Exchanges of Emerging Economies Inter-Linked: Evidence from BRICS

Abstract: This paper studies the interlinkages between stock markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) with the help of benchmark indices of these stock exchanges. Daily closing levels of the benchmark indices in the five countries were taken for a period from April 1, 2005 to March 31, 2010. Line charts and unit-root tests were applied to check the stationary nature of the series; Regression Analysis, Granger's Causality Model, Vector Auto Regression (VAR) Model, and Variance Decomposition Analysis were performed to find out the linkages between the markets under study. The analysis revealed that the stock markets under study were influenced by each other, but not to a great extent. It implies that there exists opportunities for diversification of the investors among the stock exchanges of BRICS. The paper also observed that there are domestic factors (macro-economic variables) that influence the stock markets.
