Abstract:
The significance and the originality of this paper lies in comparing, crisis effected Asian markets during
the Asian Financial Crisis 2007, success of macroeconomic policy adjustments and implementation of
tightening strategies to that of the impact of Financial crisis 2007 on the same markets. It is vital to
introduce the roles of sample markets such as South Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia, India, Japan,
and Taiwan during the Asian crisis. Although the crisis initiated in Thailand, shocks propelled into South
Korea, a first degree (where shocks generate) crisis prone market and spilled the crisis over to second
degree markets (highly effected by shocks in first degree markets) of the Philippines, Malaysia, China and
Singapore, those mark significant co-movement. This paper canvasses evidence for financial contagion
and shock propagation that spread into specific Asian markets, generating from US equity markets. While
many papers examined the contagion effect applying long term association methods, in a linear model;
this paper concentrates on the conditional mean and variance framework in non-linear structure.
