Are Islamic stocks immune from financial crises? Evidence from contagion tests*

Kamrul Hassan et al.

Summary: This study tests the expectation that Islamic stocks should provide insurance during adverse market conditions by assessing contagion effects on 25 Islamic indexes using econometric techniques. The results show robust contagion effects of the financial crisis on Islamic stock indexes. Additionally, it is found that Baker and Wurgler's investor sentiment can predict Islamic stock returns during the crisis period. These findings indicate that Islamic stocks cannot serve as a haven asset during financial turmoil.

FINANCIAL CONTAGION DURING GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS AND COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE EVIDENCE FROM DCC-GARCH MODEL

Thi Ngan Nguyen et al.

Summary: This paper is the first study to examine the financial contagion from the U.S., Japanese and Chinese markets to Asian markets during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis. The results show that there were significant contagion effects from the U.S. equity market to both advanced and emerging economies during the GFC, while during the Covid-19 pandemic, only a few Asian emerging markets experienced contagion from the U.S. The findings also suggest that contagion effects are not strongly related to the level of global integration and Asian markets seem to be more affected by the contagion from Japan and China.
