Abstract

In this paper, we measure the asymmetric volatility spillover among six virtual financial asset (VFA) markets from January 1, 2014, to September 30, 2017, using the volatility spillover index based on a Markov regime-switching vector autoregressive (VAR) model and conduct a static and dynamic analysis under different regimes. The static results show that asymmetric effects of total, internal and net volatility spillover, on average, exist in all six VFA markets under different regimes. The dynamic results show that total, directional, and net spillover have significantly asymmetric effects. Thus, the government should monitor the specific VFA regimes and improve market regulation.
