The aim of this article is to explore the interdependency between stock returns and exchange rate changes before, during, and after the Asian crises of the late 1990s and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008–2009. The two crises have brought about strains on world financial markets across the board. We focus on the stock market and the market for foreign exchange—Dungey and Martin (2007) argue that it is important to model these markets simultaneously—in six Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. These countries have in common that the rates of GDP growth before the Asian crisis were high, and that they have been affected by the Asian crisis. We use the exchange rates (value of the national currency per U.S. dollar) and the Dow Jones global price indices in terms of the U.S. dollar. Our choice of the exchange rates is supported by the fact that the United States is one of the most important trading partners of the Asian market. We excluded Hong Kong because the HK dollar has been pegged to the U.S. dollar since October 1983.
