Abstract

This paper examines the interaction between the stock market and the foreign exchange market of Romania. This relationship has important implications from the viewpoint of the two economic theories - the traditional theory and the portfolio balance theory - and especially in the light of the increasing openness of the economy to international trade and investment. The data set, from March 2000 to March 2014, covers different market phases and stock market crashes, such as the recent global financial crisis and the Euro Area debt crisis. Due to the nonlinear nature of the relation between the variables, the study employs a threshold error-correction model based on two distinct regimes extended to incorporate asymmetries related to short-term good or bad news from the two markets. Within this framework, the empirical evidence shows that there is a long-run equilibrium between the two variables during the time period investigated. There are also short-run non-linear relationships sensitive to short-term good or bad news in the regime with fewer observations, called ‘extreme regime’.
