Testing of Volatility Spillovers Dynamics and Network Connectedness between Islamic Indices of Regional Stock Markets

    Volatility spillovers and market network connectedness is the most recent phenomena which prevails among the financial markets. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the volatility spillovers and connectedness among Islamic Stock indices of global (MSCI) and Islamic indices of the regional stock markets i.e., DJMI, FTSE, JKI and KMI during the period 01/07/ 2013 to 30/06/2018. We used EGARCH (Nelson 1991), DCC-GARCH, static and rolling- window analysis to investigate the effects of volatility spillovers and connectedness by Diebold and Yilmaz (2012, 2014) and Mensi et al. (2018) methodology. It is concluded that MSCI and FTSE are the net recipients of shocks whereas; DJMI, JKI and KMI are net transmitters of shocks in a static spillover convention. Shock transmission process is time variant and volatility behaves in an asymmetric manner. The risk of spillover is quite sensitive to the political and economic events and it varies over time.
