Spearman reasoned that there must be a common

analyse the correlation between these markets. Since cross-market correlation coefficients are conditional on market volatility‚ tests for market interdependence based on these coefficients are inaccurate due to heteroskedasticity. Therefore‚ during crises when markets are more volatile‚ like during the Iraq War‚ estimates of correlation coefficients tend to increase and be biased upward. We correct for the bias as proposed by Forbes and Rigobon (2002) and estimate the time-varying correlation index using
