Abstract
We investigate the Central and Eastern European equity market co-movements before, during and after major emerging market crises. Our study is based on the concept of co-integration. We examine the impact caused by the crisis on the gains of international portfolio diversification in Central and Eastern Europe. The results of the co-integration tests indicate that there is no long-run relationship between the US and the four Central European stock markets. We find a feedback effect and causality in one direction during and after the crisis period. Portfolio benefits decrease in the crisis period but they increase in the post-crisis period.
Keywords: Central and Eastern Europe, Stock market integration, Co-integration, Portfolio diversification
