Abstract
ABSTRACT This research paper examines the financial integration of two developed and one emerging powers into the Korean and Taiwanese stock markets using weekly stock market returns from January 2003 to December 2015, analyzing before the crisis, during the crisis, and after the 2008-9 financial crisis. A VAR approach is used to indicate the degree of financial integration among the markets.
