Abstract
This study investigates the linkage between the Hong Kong stock market and Singapore stock market and the U.S. stock market during the pre- and post-East Asia Financial Crisis in 1997 and 1998. It uses multivariate regression models to study the impact of Hong Kong’s fixed exchange rate system and Singapore’s free-floating exchange rate system on their respective stock markets. The results indicate that the exchange rate is not a significant determinant of linkage between the U.S. and the two Asian stock markets, but the evidence suggests that stronger post-crisis relationships between the U.S. and the two Asian stock markets. The evidence also supports a stronger short-run relationship between the U.S. and Hong Kong stock markets relative to that between the U.S. and Singapore stock markets.
