MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper examines the volatility spillovers and the contagion effects of the 2007-2009 global financial crisis across the U.S. conventional stock market and a sample of local and global Islamic and conventional stock markets provided by the Dow Jones index, namely the United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, the Emerging-market countries and Asia-Pacific. The analysis extends from December 31, 2004 to September 30, 2016 and encompasses expansion and recession periods of the global financial crisis using the BEKK-GARCH, the DCC-GARH and the ADCC-GJR-GARCH-t models. As a result, we show evidence of high volatility transmission and significant dynamic correlations spread from the U.S. traditional stock market to each global and regional Islamic and conventional stock markets. In this light, the resilience and the decoupling hypotheses are not supported for the Islamic indices. This study has significant policy implications for portfolio diversification and provides more insights into systemic risk in these regions.
