Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between the international equity markets and the macroeconomy is gaining much prominence in the relevant literature. Unsurprisingly, the importance of this relationship has been particularly underscored by the 2007–2009 financial crisis and the ongoing European debt crisis. On the basis that stock markets are key leading indicators of economic developments, it follows that equity price fluctuations provide valuable information on the perceptions of market participants of economic shocks, as well as, on the response of policy makers to these shocks. In addition, equity markets have become one of the most important elements of the transmission mechanism of macroeconomic policies. Thus, this Special Issue focuses on further exploring these complex, and at times, concealed, interactions between equity markets and international macroeconomics. Topics in this Special Issue may include, but are not limited to, financial contagion, macro-financial linkages, spillover effects, and global financial crises.
