The analysis is based on weekly price series and DCC-MGARCH approach is used to model the volatility and the co-movement relationship among Daqing (China), West Texas, Brent, and Dubai crude oil markets during a period from 1997 to 2011. Empirical results indicate that Daqing crude oil market has a significant high dynamic correlation with Dubai crude oil market, while the dynamic correlation with European and American markets is low. In particular, the co-movement of Daqing crude oil market with international crude oil market has been strengthened since the Tenth “Five year plan” in China.
