Abstract

To enhance our understanding in the basin Mediterranean stock markets, the paper investigates the relationship between the countries signatories of the Agadir agreement, which are Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan for Southern Mediterranean markets and France, Italy, Spain and Athens for Northern Mediterranean stock markets. We use the copula approach to model the linkages (dependence structure) between these markets. Our empirical results show that there is significant increase in the dependence between these markets after the Agadir agreement. However, Egypt and Morocco seem the first to react to this agreement and occupy the large share of trade with the Northern European markets. This framework permits us to quantify the potential impact on the relationship between financial markets of the Agadir agreement.
