主  題: International financial contagion during the subprime crisis： Evidence from UK financial markets.

內容簡介: In   this paper, we investigate the contagion dynamics from the US low grade   asset-backed securities (ABS) market to UK financial markets during the 2007   subprime mortgage crisis, and identify the contagion channels using both a   single-state vector autoregressive model and a Markov switching vector   autoregressive model. We show that a shock to the US low grade ABS market   generates a significant and persistent effect on the yields of UK financial   assets, which demonstrates the existence of contagion. Moreover, contagion   episodes mainly occur during periods of financial crisis. We also find that   the contagion effects of the US lower grade ABS market are transmitted to UK   financial markets through a number of channels, including flight to   liquidity, risk premium, flight to quality and correlated information.
