Abstract
In this paper the authors present the findings of an analyses carried out to establish whether the BRIC’s stock market returns were affected by the U.S. financial stress during the 2008 Financial Crisis. To do this the authors studied the relationship between the U.S. Stock Markets and the BRIC countries’ stock and bond market returns. They carried out a regression analysis which consisted of running an equation of the dependent variable - the BRIC’s stock market returns, against a number of regressors -explanatory variables, which include the U.S.’ industrial production, the U.S.’ unemployment rate, the U.S.’S&P500, the Michigan confidence index, the BRIC’s consumer price index, the industrial production, the Gross Domestic Product and the consumer price index of each individual country; Brazil, Russia, India and China respectively. Then the authors used a single-equation time series model to explain spillover effects emanating from the US onto the BRIC markets. They analysed the whole data series from 2003 to 2014. Then sub-divided this data to analyse the post crisis effects on the BRICS equity market. The index of Brazil, Russia, India and China respectively. - BOVESPA (Brazil), MICEX (Russia), NIFTY (India) and China Security Index (CSI300) were the dependent variables of the model. Moreover, the model takes the US stock market index, the S&P500 as a benchmark variable. Results obtained, revealed that the BRICs were subject to a spillover effect during and following the financial crisis.
