The present study attempts to track the transmission of volatility across 11 international stock markets in the Asia-Pacific region over a period of 20 years, which includes both crisis (i.e., contagion form) and non-crisis periods. It also investigates whether the global transmission of volatility follows a pattern. The study contributes to the literature in two ways: (a) it provides a historical map of volatility transmission in the Asia-Pacific region and (b) it identifies the path and pattern of volatility spillover across stock markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
