ABSTRACT
~he objective of this paper is to study the relationship of the stock markets in the Association
ofSoutheast Asian Nations (ASEAN-5) countries. In other words, it is to access the ASEAN-5
stock market integration or the long run relationship among the markets. The study of the
integration is separate to two parts, which is Pre Asian 1997 Financial Crisis and Post Asian
1997 Financial Crisis. The rationale of this study is to determine whether the investor can have
more benefit through international portfolio diversification within the region during pre-crisis
and post-cris~ The empirical results suggest that the five stock markets are only co integrated
after crisis but not in pre-crisis. Investor from outside the region can be benefited by the
cointegration because the cost of investing is reduced and the liquidity speed is improved.
Although the stock markets are integrated, but integration is not fully complete. Therefore, the
investor inside the region is still can have the benefit from the international portfolio
diversification.

ABSTRAK
Objektif kerja ini adalah untuk mengkaji hubungan pasaran saham di antara Negara-negara
dalam Persatuan Negara-Negara Asia Tenggara (ASEAN-5). Dengan kata lain, tujuannya
adalah untuk mengakses integrasi pasaran saham dalam ASEAN -5 atau hubungan jangka
panjang di kalangan pasaran saham tersebut. Kajian integrasi ini dibahagikan kepada dua
bahagian, iaitu pada tempoh sebelum and selepas Krisis Kewangan Asia 1997. Rasional kajian
ini adalah untuk menentukan sarna ada pelabur boleh mempunyai lebih banyak manfaat
melalui kepelbagaian portfolio antarabangsa di dalam rantau tersebut sebelum dan selepas
krisis ini. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa kelima-lima pasaran saham hanya berkointegrasi
selepas krisis sahaja. Pelabur dari luar rantau ini dapat menerima manfaat dari kointegrasi
tersebut kerana kos pelaburan telah dikurangan dan laju kecairan telah ditambah. Walaupun
pasaran saham telah bersepadu, tetapi integrasi tersebut belum lengkap dengan sepenuhnya.
Oleh itu, pelabur di dalam rant au ini masih boleh mendapat manfaat daripada pempelbagaian
portfolio antarabangsa.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
Over the years, there had been a growing concern on the cointegrating of equity or
stock markets. Previously, there are number of studies have been conducted pertaining to the
stock market integration in ASEAN-5 1 countries (Oh et al. (2010), Phuan et al. (2009), Lim
(2007), Sharma and Wongbangpo 2002, Lim et al. 2003, Click and Plummer 2005, and
Manning 2002). Choudhry (1996) stated that the globalization had led to a co-movement of
asset prices across international markets. This is due to the expansion and advance in
technologies. This has eased and increased the speed of exchange information from one market
to one market with a lower cost and less time. People can get the information easily, easier and
faster than before. Therefore, investors can easily expand their investment portfolio to other
countries.
Besides, the capital across national boundaries has dramatically increased which
increase the investment of the countries. A lot of developing countries are encouraging the
foreign direct investment to their country to boost and develop their economy and market.
Investors are welcomed to invest in the countries. On the other hand, the ultimate goal of
investor is to get the maximum return in their portfolio investment. By expanding the portfolio
investment to the other countries, there is a possible potential benefit from diversification of
investment in international.
Another reason for the co-movement of asset prices across international market are that
there exists of the followers and leaders of stock market in international level. Some countries
are the followers because they are still not matured and still developing their stock market.
They will tend to follow the stock market with has more matured and developed than them (see :
Choudhry, 1996). ,
'lndonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.

Previous studies had state that there were no stock market integration during the pre-
crisis in the long run, however, in the short run, there is a significant linkage of ASEAN-5
market except Indonesia (Azman-Saini et aI., 2002). Indonesian market is said to be no
relationship with others ASEAN-5 stock market. Among the ASEAN-5, Malaysia was a
significant influential market. Only Thailand and Singapore is said to be the most linkages of
stock market with other stock markets. Oh et al. (2010) had improve the result by having a
result that there was partial market integration exist during pre-Asian 1997 Financial Crisis
period but a full market integration during post-crisis.
The linkage of stock markets has been an important and concern issues because
investors or fund manager can gain from international portfolio diversification (Ewing et al.
1999, Lim et aI. 2003). It means that they can benefit when they invest across the countries, in
other word, "Diversification". It is said that higher benefit can be gained from the international
portfolio diversification only when they are available to reduce risk but keep the expected
return at the same degree between domestic country and other country.
1.2 Background of Study
Association of Southeast Asian Nations ("ASEAN") was formed on 8th August 1967.
By the time, the ASEAN was consisting of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and
Thailand ("ASEAN-5). ASEAN was then added five more countries i.e. Brunei, Myanmar,
Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. One of the objectives to form the ASEAN is to accelerate the
economic growth and strengthen the economic status. The whole ASEAN have combined
popUlation of approximately 608 million people (8.85% of world population) and their
combined gross domestic product had growth to US$2.15 trillion in 20112. Since late of1980s
(pre-crisis), ASEAN countries had a rapid economic growth. This is then following by the high
2 The&e figures were from International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook Database.

improvement in ASEAN countries' stock markets. "Over the 7-year period (1990-1996), the
market capitalization of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand grew
816.38%, 360.20%, 637.66%, 83.69%, and 211.81 %, respectively" (Sharma & Wongbangpo,
2002, p. 301). In that situation, the market capitalization had increase which induces a boom
and rapid growth in ASEAN countries' economy.
The ASEAN fmancial crisis started in July 1997, in Thailand. The crisis also called
East Asian fmancial crisis because it is originated in East Asia. During the time, Thailand was
decided to float its Thai Baht which led to the meltdown in Thailand and thus starting the
Contagion Wave Effect. The crisis had affected currencies, stock markets and other asset prices
in several Asian countries. The effects are then rippled to the globe and cause a globe financial
crisis. The stock markets in the affected region were declined sharply. This has caused a
serious impact to the investors and fund managers who aim to get the benefit from international
portfolio diversification. The United States was only briefly affected by the crisis.
Among the ASEAN-5 countries, the most affected by the crisis is Indonesia and
Thailand. The stock of Indonesia (Jakarta Stock Exchange) reached a new historic low in
September 1997. Same with the Thailand, the Thailand stock market dropped 75% in 1997.
Malaysia and Philippines also experience bad affect from the crisis. There are also downgrades
and a general sell off on the stock and currency. However, Singapore was relatively unaffected
by the Crisis. Singapore economy only tum into a short duration of recession and it is a result
of contagion ofthe crisis in global.
The ASEAN stock market crash in July 1997 which cause by the East Asian financial
crisis had made all markets in ASEAN experience financial crisis. This had affected the stock
market of the ASEAN. By this, there is a possibility that the relationship among the stock
markets in the ASEAN countries have been changed.

1.3 Problem Statement
In order to protect the return and reduce the risk of investment, the investors have to
diversify their investment. They can do the portfolio diversification across countries to achieve
that. However, it is not easy for the investors to identify which stock market of a country to be
entered. If they build a across country portfolio investment where the stock market of the
countries are cointegrated, the investors cannot enjoy the risk reduction instead they will suffer
even larger loss in their investments. There are significant studies on the stock market
integration on ASEAN-5 for the period before and after the 1997 crisis (see Wong 2004; Yang
et al. 2003 and Oh et al. 2010). The results showed that there is no cointegration found before
crisis but the situation was change during and after the crisis. The cointegration concept shows
that there is long-run relationship among the stock market and thus this will give a significant
impact on the return of investment ofthe investors within the region.
Therefore, it is essential to know the whether the stock market of another country is
cointegrated with their home country. By identify and solve this issue, investors can create and
manage their investment portfolio well and reduce the risk from reduction on investment return.
1.4 Objective of the Study
The objective of this study is to help the investor to create and diversify their
investment with a more efficient way so that the risks of their investment can be reduced and
achieving the benefit ofInternational Portfolio Diversification.
The general objective to conduct this study is to help the investor to identify whether it
is a good way to create and diversify their portfolio investment within ASEAN-5 countries'
stock market so that they are able to gain more benefit by doing portfolio diversification.
The specific objectives of this study are as follows:
(i) to identify the long run relationship between pre and post 1997 crisis.

(ii) to test the existence ofgranger interplay between the stocks.
1.5 Organization of the Study
This paper is organized as follows; section 2 will show the literatures reviews which are
surrounding this issue. Section 3 will show the methodology. Section 4 will present and discuss
the result. Section 5 is a sunnnary and a conclusion.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
There had been significant studies in regards to the stock market integration. There are
more studies that have been done on ASEAN pre-crisis than post-crisis. Besides, many studies
have round that the stock market in emerged market is more independence. Some of the paper
had trying to find the evidence of cointegration pre and post-globalization. In this chapter, 2.1
will discuss on the theoretical framework, 2.2 will discuss the empirical evidence, and the last
one is 2.3 which is the concluding remark of literature review.
2.2 Theoretical Framework
In theory, economy growth can be contributed by many factors like stock market size,
liquidity, and integration with world capital markets. According to Levine and Zervos (1996),
the stock market of a country can positively affecting the development of the country itself
Their research showed a close relationship between overall stock market and long-run
economic growth. They found that the economy growth is contributed by the degree of
liquidity in the stock market. In other words, the investment in the long-run can be eased by
liquid stock market.
However, Azman-Saini et ai. (2002) and Jung et ai. (2004) have the same opinion that
the increase flowing of capital from boundaries can result of market interdependency and thus,
accelerate the growth of a developing country. When the developing country can access to the
international financial markets, its saving can be augmented and the cost of capital within the
domestic fmancial sectors can be reduced (lung et aI., 2004).
The stock markets integration are happened when the risk in different countries or the
ability to reduce risk can result of same expected returns (see Ewing et aI., 1999; Lim et aI.,
2003). Therefore, Lim et ai. 2003 suggested that the diversification benefits can be measured 6
I through the gain of expected returns and reduction risk. Morana and Beltratti (2006) stated that
the gain through international diversification is depending on the low correlations across
international stock markets.
However, the concept of cointegrated stock markets is that the investor who is managing their
portfolio through international portfolio diversification, the potential benefits will be limited or
disappeared (see Azman-Saini et aI., 2002; Ewing et aI., 1999; Lim et aI., 2003). Ewing et al
(1999) stated that the cointegration of the stock markets is caused by country policy which is
financial deregulation. In other words, the trades barriers are more relaxed and more foreign
fund are attracted to the country. However, the relationship or the integration is changing over
time. Yang et ai. (2003) stated that the degree of integration is changing especiaUy after
financial crises had happened.
2.3 Empirical Result of Previous Studies
There were a lot of studied on the market integration either in emerging countries or
emerged countries. Firstly, we will discuss the studies that have been done on the countries
which are fall outside ofASEAN.
Choudhry (1996) had studied the long run relationship between six different European
(Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Sweden) stock markets. He used Johansen
multivariate cointegration tests by using monthly data. He found that there is no long-run
relationship during the post-crash period (1929-1936). Only pre-crash period found to have
long run relationship. Chen et al (2002) also showed that the investors can diversify their
portfolios in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela because they failed to
show the evidence that the stocks markets are integrated. Masih and Masih (2001) also
conducted a study to investigate the relationship among OECD and Asian stock markets. They
found out that the long-run relationship among the OECD and Asian stock markets did exist
7
from 1983 to 1994. Ewing et at. (1999) did a studied of the stock market linkages of N AFT A
and North American. They are testing over the pre-US stock market crash period, 1987: 11
through 1997:03. In this study, they failed to show the evidence of cointegration in all these
markets which mean there is no long run relationship. Arshanapalli and Doukas (] 993) also try
to examine the linkage stock market of Germany, United Kingdom, France, Japan, and United
States by using daily data. They found that in the pre-crash period, France, Germany and UK
stock markets are not related to US stock market. However, in the post-crash period, France,
Germany and UK have interrelationship with US stock market. US and Japan stock market do
not have relationship and Japan was independence when compare with the European stock
market. Pascual (2003) also failed to find the evidence of the long-run equilibrium in the stock
markets of UK, French, and German.
As for the studies that have been done in Asia countries, Oh et al. (2010) had conducted
a study on the market integration in ASEAN-5 countries using JJ Co integration Analysis and
Granger Causality Test. The result showed that there was only partial market integration prior
to the 1997 Asian Crisis. However this situation completely changes during post-crisis. The
result showed that the market is fully integrated after the 1997 Asian crisis. This means that the
fmancial crisis had led to the stronger stock market integration. Phuan et al. (2009) also did a
research to find out if the process of financial liberalization has any contribution to the stock
market integration in ASEAN-5 countries. They divided the study into three periods. During
the first period (1986 - 1987), Singapore Stock Market was liberalized, the stock markets of
Singapore and Indonesia do not granger caused by any countries in ASEAN-5. However, only
Thailand and Singapore are granger caused other countries. During the second period (1987
1991), when Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia's stock market liberalized, Singapore started
granger caused by other countries like Malaysia and Philippines. Indonesia was independent
during this period. During the third period (1991 -1997), when Philippines stock market
8
liberalized, more long run relationships were established. However Singapore stock market did
not influence by other countries.
Lim (2007) used daily data from 1990 -2007 to test the market integration among
ASEAN-5 countries. The result showed consistence with Phuan et a1. (2009) and Click &
Plummer (2005) that there was an increasing in the market integration in ASEAN-5 after crisis
when compare with pre-crisis. Masih and Masih (1997) studied on the Asian Newly
Industrializing Countries (NIC) which consists of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and
Taiwan, with established market which consists of Japan, USA, UK and Germany. The result
oftesting the cointegration shows that NICs have long run relationship with established market.
In others word, established market have a leading role on the NIC markets. Yang et al (2003)
test the stock market integration related with fmancial crisis between Asian stock market and
US and Japan stock market. The result shows that these markets have show interrelationship
during the crisis. However, after the crisis, the stock market is more integrated. Japan and
United State is playing a leading role in these stock markets. Azman-Saini et al (2002) tests on
the ASEAN-5 stock market. They find cointegrated in these stock markets. However,
Singapore showed that it was only affected by Philippines. In others words, Singapore stock
market can be considered as an exclusive market. Lim et al (2003) was also studied on the
ASEAN-5 stock market. They used Bierens's test which show the result that ASEAN stock
market are cointegrated in long run. This result was consistence with Azman-Saini et al (2002)
which show those stock markets have shared a long-run relationship. According to Lim et al
(2003), the process of fmancial liberalization will tend to make the stock markets more
integrated. Sharma and Wongbangpo (2002) found that 4 countries (Malaysia, Thailand,
Singapore, and Indonesia) stock market has long run relationship (inefficient market) except of
Philippines market (efficient market). This result is a bit different with Lim et al (2003) and
Azman-Saini et al (2002) where Philippines shows itself as an independence market. Manning
9
(2002) was testing on the South East Asian equity markets from 1988 to 1999. He found that
Asian markets (excludes Japan, Korea and Taiwan) have relationship with the (external) US
market by mid-1997.
2.4 Concluding Remark
Most of the studies show that pre-globalization in emerged countries and pre-crisis in
Asia countries, have less or no cointegration in the long run relationship. However, the
situation changes when the period is change to post-globalization and post-crisis. This
indicated that in the world now, the direction and relationship among stock markets are
changed. They showed more integrated than before. This has become and important
information as investors hard to gain returns from making portfolio diversification investment
ifthe markets are integrated.

CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Introduction
Granger (1983), Granger and Weiss (1983), and Engle and Granger (1987) had
introduced a new statistical concept which is used to test co integration. Generally, a linear
combination of two variables has to be stationary. After that, the two variables can be
considered as cointegrated. Otherwise, the two variables are said no cointegrated and no long
run relationship. "In terms of cross-border equity market efficiency, cointegration implies that
national stock market indices are linked even if the stock market indices are non-stationary"
(Arshanapalli and Doukas, 1993). Therefore, this can be used to test whether a national market
index is cointegrated with others stock market index.
When DXt is stationary, x is said will be integrated oforder one.
(1)
L and D are lag operator and difference operator. a; (L) and T; (L) are polynomials in L with all
roots outside the unit circle. 8; is drift parameter whereas 8; is white noise stochastic with
E( 8; ) = 0 and Var ( 8; ) = (J2 < oq
According to Arshanapalli and Doukas (1993), to show the concept of co integration (x
cointegrated with y), there must exist an error-correction.
x - X-I = a o+alzt-I + /31(L)(Xt - X)+ /32 (L)(Yt - Yt)+8 It (2a)
Yt- Yt-I =a 2+a3 Z t-1+/33 (L)(X - X)+ /34 (L)(Yt - Yt_I)+82t (2b)
Where Xt is stock price index of country i and Yt is another country's stock price index, /31'
P2' P3 and /34 are polynomials, L is lagged operator, 81t and are white noise error8 2t
terms, and Zt-I is the lag value of error term.
11
Error correction model is interpreted as follow. The change in x is because of the short
run effect by the change in y. Zt-I is the long run adjustment to the equilibrium level.
Therefure, in order to test for the stock market integration, Augmented Dickey-Fulley
(Dickey and Fuller, 1979) Unit Root Test ("ADF Unit Root Test"), Johansen and Juselius
(1990) Cointegration Test ("11 Co integration Test") and Granger Causality Test with Vector
Autoregressive Model (''V AR Model") and Vector Error Correction Model (''VECM'') are
conducted on this research.
3.2 Data
This study is using monthly stock price indices from January 1988 to December 2011
ofASEAN-5 stock markets. The stock names are Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLSE) for
Malaysia, Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) for Thailand, and Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX)
for Indonesia, Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) for Philippines, and Straits Times Index (STI)
for Singapore. The source of data is from Yahoo Finance. The study is separate into two parts.
The first part is to study the pre-crisis period (from 1988 January to 1998 June). The second
part is to study the post-crisis period (from 1998 July to 2011 December). All the data are
transfunned into logarithm form.
3.3 ADF Unit Root Test
A time series data will have problem if it has spurious correlation. Spurious correlation
is a strong relationship between two or more variables that is cause by a statistical fluke or by
the nature of specification of the variables, not by a real underlying causal relationship. In other
words, there exists a non-stationary in data. ADF Unit Root Test is used to test for the non
stationarity. This can help to check if there is able to reject the hypothesis nuJI which means
that the result will be stationary and will be integrated in what order. If a time series data has a
12
unit root or non-stationary, the data exhibits a stochastic trend. Otherwise, it will exhibit a
detenninistic trend. The equation ofADF test and hypothesis test are:
p-I
I1Yt = po+ 8Yt-1 + L a.iI1Yt- I + J.1t (3)i=1
Where p. is a constant or drift.
HO: (J =0 --- (non-stationary)
HA: (J < 0 --- (stationary in ftrst difference)
Ifthe Ho can be rejected, then the data is in stationary.
3.4 JJ Cointegration Test
After running the ADF Unit Root Test, JJ Cointeration Test will be applied to test the
long run relationship among the variables. JJ Cointeration Test is applicable when the time
series data are consisting unit root in level and stationary in fIrst difference 1(1). It is believed
that oointegration is meaning that the movements of all the time series data are relative to each
other. Choudhry (1996) stated that the nonstationary time series are cointegrated if a linear
oombination ofthese variables is stationary.
JJ Cointeration Test is using the maximum eigenvalue test (Amax) and trace test to
identify how many cointegrating vectors have in the particular time series data. The equation of
the test is as follows:
k
8 Z, =J.i +Ir,.l1Z/-; +n ZI-1 + &/ (4) ;=1
Where Z/ is a vector of variables which is in levels. J.1 is a constant term. IT = et{3' where ex is
the adjustment coefficients and {3 have the cointegrating vectors.
The hypothesis ofthe test for equation (4) is as follows:
Ho: r = 0 --- (Do not have long run relationship --- Not cointegrated)
--- (have long run relationship --- Co integrated)
13
If it is able to reject the hypothesis null, then we can conclude that the variables are
cointegrated. However, if we are not able to reject the hypothesis nul~ then we have enough
evidence that the variables are not cointegrated.
3.S Granger Causality Test
This test is conducted to examined whether one variable, let say, x, help to explain
current changes in another variable, let say, y.
q q
AY =Cl + L J3jllYI - j + L YjL1XI - j + J.1lt (5)j=l j=l
q q
AX =Cl + L 8jllYI - j + L AjL1Xt - j + J.12t (6)j=l j=1
Where A is the first difference operator and AYand AX are stationary time series.
When want to detennine whether causality run from X (independent variable) to Y
(dependent variable), then equation (5) should be used. If X do not granger cause Y, and want
to test whether Y granger cause X, equation (6) should be used where the dependent variable
become X and Y will be independent variable.
The null hypotheses of Granger causality test for equation (5) is as follows:
--- (X does not granger cause Y)
--- (X does granger cause Y)
The null hypotheses of Granger causality test for equation (6) is as follows:
--- (Y does not granger cause X)
--- (Y does granger cause X)
When conducting the Granger Causality test, if it is able to reject the hypothesis null, then we
can conclude that the variable is granger cause another variable.
