Abstract: This paper provides an analysis of the influence of financial development and international trade integration on stock market integration. Using a panel sample of 15 developed and developing countries in Asia over the period 1985–2013, we show that a country’s financial development has a positive effect on its stock market integration with the world’s stock market, and that a country’s international trade integration is not associated with its stock market integration with the world’s stock market. In addition, the degree of bilateral stock market integration cannot be explained by variation in bilateral international trade integration.
