Johansen Co-integration test is applied to check the level of integration, which is further checked by multivariate granger causality showing the causality pattern among the indices. GARCH (1,1) model is applied to examine the volatility spillover effect on the Indian Stock Market. The findings suggest that the series are co-integrated with one vector ‘v,’ which is confirmed by the Trace and Max-Eigen Test. The Multivariate Granger Causality test confirms the bivariate causal pattern between India and US markets, implying the dual effect.
