Abstract

The present work aims to study the regime-switching behaviour of stock indices of Asian emerging economies namely China, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Thailand that have been caused due to outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Markov Regime-Switching model identifies the switching over of the variables from one regime to another. The break-point unit root test confirms the non-existence of unit root along with the identification of structural breaks. Johansen Co-integration test and Wald test are applied to ascertain the long-run and short-run relationship. The findings from the Johansen Co-integration test and Wald test verify the existence of the associations. The Markov Switching model signifies the switching over of all the select stock indices from regime 1 to regime 2 and the magnitude of volatility in regime 2 is much more than that of regime 1.
