The smoothed line depicts the Hodrick-Prescott filter of the estimates of dynamic conditional correlations reflected by the volatile line. The shaded area indicates the period of the Asian financial crisis: June 2, 1997 to December 31, 1998; the 2001 recession: March 10, 2000 to August 30, 2002; and the GFC: August 1, 2007 to March 31, 2009. The choice of the crisis period is based on official time lines for the Asian crisis dated by Baig and Goldfajn (1999) and Nagayasu (2001); the 2001 recession by Scherbina (2013) and for the GFC by Federal Reserve Board of St. Louis (2009) and Filardo et al. (2010).
