Abstract
Trade, capital, and information transfer are the three channels of spillover. It is challenge to distinguish them and quantify the effect of each channel. However, the stock market in China is not open yet, and we are able to cleanly identify the channel of market contagion based on the information transfer. In this study, we look at the stock market in China and other 4 major markets. Using the data from January 3, 2000 to June 30, 2017 and Structural Vector Autoregression model, we find that information transfer leads to a spillover effect on China stock market. Further more, the time varying data show that the evolution of market contagion overtime for China stock market, with big events causing peaks of market contagion.
