Abstract: We employ an asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation model to investigate the time-varying integration of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates for three major European currencies -the euro (EUR), Swiss franc (CHF), and British pound (GBP). We assess the impacts of the global financial crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis on cross-currency dynamic correlations. Our findings suggest that the correlations are influenced more by negative innovations than by positive ones for the GBP-CHF and CHF-EUR pairs. While the global financial crisis increased the degree of interbank money market integration, the European debt crisis contrastingly decreased the dynamic correlations for each pair of LIBOR rates.
