Abstract

This paper investigates whether financial markets in emerging Asia have become more globally or regionally integrated since the Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s. It employs a price-based measure of integration, namely stock return differentials between ten emerging Asian economies and the US (as an indicator of global integration), as well as Japan and the Asian region (as two alternative indicators of regional integration), to test for mean reversion and draw inference on financial integration. It makes a three-fold contribution: it uses not only aggregate but also industry level data on stock returns; it examines the impact of the 2008 crisis; it adopts a more general fractional integration approach. The evidence suggests that in emerging Asia, at both the aggregate and industry (especially for the financial sector) level, there is more regional than global integration, and that the former has become even stronger in the post-2008 crisis period. Further, Japan’s influence has been declining and the Chinese stock market has become more integrated, both regionally and globally.
