Using the GARCH-in-Mean model, the present paper examines information spillover effects from some large foreign stock markets on the VN-Index.

However, the volatility of VN-Index return rate and its risks are not affected by the information spillover effects from such markets. | JED 2012 |91 The Information Spillover Effects of International Stock Markets on the VN-Index - An Empirical Study NGUYỄN HÒA NHÂN Doctor of Philosophy, Đà Nẵng University of Economics nhndhdn@ ĐẶNG TÙNG LÂM Master of Arts, Đà Nẵng University of Economics dangtlam@ ABSTRACT Using the GARCH-in-Mean model, the present paper examines information spillover effects from some large foreign stock markets on the VN-Index.
