Volatility Threshold Dynamic Conditional Correlations: An International AnalysisMaria KaschUniversity of Mannheim - Department of Finance Massimiliano CaporinUniversity of Padova - Department of Economics and Management "Marco Fanno" April 2, 2012 Forthcoming, Journal of Financial Econometrics Abstract: This paper proposes a modeling framework for the study of changes in cross-market comovement conditional on volatility regimes. Methodologically, we extend the Dynamic Conditional Correlation multivariate GARCH model to allow the dynamics of correlations to depend on asset variances through a threshold structure. The empirical application of our model to a sample of international stock markets in 1994-2011 indicates that the periods of market turbulence are associated with an increase in cross-market comovement. The modeling framework proposed in the paper represents a useful tool for the study of market contagion.
