Following the blueprint of the ASEAN integration 2015, the integration of the financial marketsin this region will increase. This study investigates the existence of a volatility spillover from the Singaporeanstock market into Indonesia, including its transmission pattern. Singapore, as an advancedcountry in the ASEAN region, has played an important role as the information leader in the market ofthis region, so that it is very possible that the shocks in the Singapore?s stock market will be transmittedto another stock market in this region. Using TGARCH (1,1) model specification regarding thedata of the daily return of the Indonesia market index (IHSG) for the period of January 2008 ? August2012, it is observed that the shock that took place in the Singapore stock market is immediately transmittedto the Indonesia stock market with two important asymmetric patterns. The transmission ofthe shock from the Singapore stock exchange becomes stronger when this market (1) experiences anegative return, and (2) is in the bearish phase. |
