Abstract: In this paper, we have used daily stock returns data from two developed and four emerging countries to analyse the behaviour of returns and volatility spillovers in two different stock market conditions called the up and down markets. To this end, we have proposed a VAR-TGARCH-M type model and incorporated the smooth transition behaviour to switch from one market condition to another. The results show that, in general, there is significant and asymmetric effect of returns and volatility of one market on another in up and down market conditions, but the sign of the effect varies over pairs of countries concerned and also of market conditions.
