This paper uses fractional integration to explore the stochastic properties of the Financial Stress Indices (FSIs) of ten Asian countries, investigating the bilateral linkages between them to ascertain how financial stress spreads among countries in the region. The results show that all the estimated orders of integration are in the interval (0, 1) implying fractional integration and a long memory pattern. Thus, shocks will have transitory though long lasting effects. For the cross-country spillovers of the FSIs, we find that convergence is satisfied in all cases with values of the differencing parameter around 0 and thus showing short memory behaviour. It is worth noting that for the larger economies in the region, Japan and China, financial stress transmission between Japan and the smaller economies was faster than with respect to China. To check for the robustness of the baseline results we also use systemic risk measures for these countries, CoVaR with the results showing evidence of fractional integration for the individual series, with all values of the differencing parameter in the range (0, 1). For convergence, there is a substantial reduction in the degree of integration, though the results are not so clear as with the FSIs. JEL Classification: C22; C51; E44; G10.
