| Sumario: | Recent economic and financial liberalization policies have increased the internationalization of emerging markets. A daring strategy undertaken by Mexico constituted the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); in addition to increased trade and investments, it should have led to stronger links among the equity markets from Canada, United States and Mexico. This study tests a "first generation" financial integration among those markets, applying Johansen's cointegration technique. It also examines integration between the NAFTA markets and the world capital market. Results evidence a time-varying integration process among NAFTA equity markets. Integration of the NAFTA capital markets to the world capital market evidences a mild segmentation and a time-varying integration as well. |
