The objective of this paper is to explore the determining factors behind financial contagion between US and BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) equity markets. To this end, we investigate the effects of global macroeconomic factors on the time-varying correlations among these markets obtained by asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation method. Utilizing quantile regression analysis, we examine the determinants of financial contagion at different levels of time-varying correlations. The results of quantile regression analyses reveal that global financial crisis (GFC) (2008) leads to changes in the dependence structure between dynamic conditional correlations among equity markets and global macroeconomic factors, such as global financial stress, oil prices, and gold prices. Following the GFC, monetary, and fiscal policy changes in the BRIC markets and hence changing macroeconomic risks of these markets are conducive to these changes. Our findings also demonstrate the importance of cross-market rebalancing channel for information transmission across US and BRIC markets.

In the literature, a number of studies examine the affects of the innovations in oil prices in developed countries. Their results suggest that the oil price changes are important factors in explaining the variation in GDP, inflation, employment, and real stock returns. Only recently, the same effect has been investigated for developing countries. To the extent of our knowledge, no study has exam...
