This paper depicts the dynamic linkages among
international stock markets from the system-wide and pairwise
perspectives based on the DECO-FIAPARCH model and cADCC-FIAPARCH
model. Moreover, this paper is the first to combine the GARCHSK
higher moments volatility model and the connectedness approach to
quantify the higher moments risk spillovers among international
stock markets. The empirical results demonstrate that the dynamic
equicorrelation presents significant time-varying features and it is
vulnerable to major financial risk shocks. In general, the dynamic
conditional correlations among the US and European stock markets are
higher than in Asian stock markets. The dynamic conditional
correlations between mainland China and Hong Kong China, Japanese,
Indian, and Southeast Asian stock markets are higher than European
and American (the United States, Canadian, French, Germany,
Argentine, Greek) stock markets. Besides, the higher moments risk
spillovers among international stock markets are significant. The
United States, Mexican, Canadian, and United Kingdom stock markets
are the main higher moments risk spillover net-transmitters while
Japanese, Philippine, Thailand, Turkish, and Hong Kong China stock
markets are the main higher moments risk spillover net-recipients.
Besides, the major international crisis always enhances the
magnitude of the higher moments risk spillovers. The stock market in
Hong Kong China not only transmits significant risk spillovers to
mainland China stock market but also act as a vital infectious agent
between mainland China and other international stock markets. Last
but not least, the diversified portfolios including mainland China
and other international stock assets can significantly reduce the
risks of the original portfolios. Finally, compared with the
equal-weighted portfolio strategy, the optimal-weighted portfolio
always presents the highest risk management effectiveness.
