THE INCREASING INTEGRATION OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND THE VARIABILITY OF STOCK MARKET PRICES

ABSTRACT. The purpose of this article is to gain a deeper understanding of stock market efficiency, significant linkages among stock market volatility of industrialized countries, the movement of the Chinese stock market, and predictability of risk during normal and highly volatile periods of the stock market. The literature on stock price behavior, the dynamic interdependence of domestic stock and bond markets, and intra and inter-regional causal linkages of emerging stock markets is relevant to this discussion. pp. 232–237
