RECESSION AND INTERNATIONAL MARKET CORRELATIONS

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationships between various world stock indices from June 2007 to May 2009. The primary concern is whether the recession and the higher variance in daily market returns impact correlations between market indices. The results suggest that the correlations between daily returns on market indices are higher during the recession period of September 2008 to May 2009.Stock Returns, Recession, Volatility
