Does size really matter across time? Financial integration dynamics and stock market capitalization in the Asia Pacific equity markets
The present study argues for size of equity markets, measured by its stock market capitalization, in determining leaders for a fully integrated equity market in the Asia Pacific region. Using cointegration analysis, it was found that Hong Kong SAR could act in such a capacity in the financial integration process. When taking growth-volatility into consideration via the use of Euclidean distance measure, China is diverging from both equity blocks across time and is the least integrated. However, given its growth across time, it is the sole contender for the leadership role surpassing Hong Kong SAR.

Abstract

The present study argues for size of equity markets, measured by its stock market capitalization, in determining leaders for a fully integrated equity market in the Asia Pacific region. Using cointegration analysis, it was found that Hong Kong SAR could act in such a capacity in the financial integration process. When taking growth-volatility into consideration via the use of Euclidean distance measure, China is diverging from both equity blocks across time and is the least integrated. However, given its growth across time, it is the sole contender for the leadership role surpassing Hong Kong SAR.
