ABSTRACT

This paper tries to empirically investigate whether the information contained in business confidence may be statistically useful in explaining stock return regimes and regime switches in Asian markets. This paper uses the Time-Varying Transition Probabilities Markov regime switching model with business confidence as the mediator of regime switches. Using the Business Confidence Indicator(BCI) and stock returns of five major Asian markets such as Korea, China, Japan, Indonesia and India, from January 2003 to August 2013, this study finds that the BCI has an effect on the regime transition probabilities of the bull markets.
