"Following the blueprint of the ASEAN integration 2015, the integration of the financial markets
in this region will increase. This study investigates the existence of a volatility spillover from the Singaporean
stock market into Indonesia, including its transmission pattern. Singapore, as an advanced
country in the ASEAN region, has played an important role as the information leader in the market of
this region, so that it is very possible that the shocks in the Singapore?s stock market will be transmitted
to another stock market in this region. Using TGARCH (1,1) model specification regarding the
data of the daily return of the Indonesia market index (IHSG) for the period of January 2008 ? August
2012, it is observed that the shock that took place in the Singapore stock market is immediately transmitted
to the Indonesia stock market with two important asymmetric patterns. The transmission of
the shock from the Singapore stock exchange becomes stronger when this market (1) experiences a
negative return, and (2) is in the bearish phase."
