Popis: Since the financial meltdown, studies on systemic risk and financial contagion have gained currency. Events like the COVID pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have fueled such an importance. This study examines the impact of the invasion on volatility transmissions across major stock markets worldwide. The stock indices considered in this study are ASX 200, ESTOXX 40, FTSE 100, HNGSNG, NIFTY 50, NIKKIE, and S&P 500. The work uses Vector Auto Regression (VAR) to study the transmission of returns. Later, the work performs Dynamic Conditional Covariance-Generalized Auto Regression Conditional Heteroskedasticity (DCC-GARCH) on the residuals where the transmission of returns was significant. The DCC-GARCH (E-GARCH) shows that all the asymmetric transmissions are negative. The study finds that co-movements of stock returns for the following pairs: ESTOXX 50-S&P 500, NIFTY 50-FTSE100, NIFTY 50-NIKKIE, NIKKIE-ESTOXX 50, S&P 500-NIFTY 50, and SP500-HNGSNG significantly intensified after the declaration of invasion. Such intensification of co-movements does establish the contagion effect triggered by invasion. The study shows that ESTOXX 50, which has the closest geographical proximity to the war zone, happens to be the highest generator of spillovers.
