Abstract
This paper investigates the linkages between stock markets of the United States and the Greater China Economic Area including China mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In order to find the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis, we use the weekly stock market indices of Standard and Poor’s 500, Dow Jones China 88, Hang Seng and Taiwan Stock Exchange Weighted for each stock market from January, 2000 to March, 2016. The data set is divided into pre-crisis period and post-crisis period. Both the Granger causality test and the bivariate GARCH model show the evidence of closer interaction and bilateral effects between stock markets after the financial crisis. Also the self-explained part of the variation in each stock market decreases... (More)

The data set is divided into pre-crisis period and post-crisis period. Both the Granger causality test and the bivariate GARCH model show the evidence of closer interaction and bilateral effects between stock markets after the financial crisis. Also the self-explained part of the variation in each stock market decreases significantly according to the variance decomposition analysis and the bivariate GARCH model. In the meanwhile, principal component analysis gives the result of more integrated stock markets. (Less)
