Abstract: We study stock market's response to real output shocks in the small and young Eastern European frontier markets, and compare to the larger European emerging- and world's most developed markets. To obtain a complete time profile of stock market's response, we use a Vector Auto-regression with Asymmetric Leads (VARwAL) model, which is a special case of the mix (noncausal) VARs. Results confirm its efficacy: in every country, both the forward-looking and delayed components of stock market's response are significant. Stock market returns forecast future real output equally well in Eastern European frontier markets as in developed and larger-emerging markets. The distant-horizon forward-looking response is larger in frontier markets, whereas the near-horizon forward-looking response is larger in developed markets.
