ABSTRACT
This paper employs quantile regression model to investigate if the price change spillover
effect exists from U.S. to Taiwan. We discuss three market segments of Taiwan stock which
comprise close-to-open, open-to-close and close-to-close returns respectively. We find that:
Firstly, the price change spillover effect exists from U.S. to the close-to-open returns of
Taiwan stock market. Furthermore, the price change spillover effect exists when stock price
goes up or down greatly from 1995 to 1997. Secondly, the price change spillover effect exists
from U.S. to the close-to-close returns of Taiwan stock market. However, there is no price
change spillover effect when price goes down greatly and there is even negative effect from
U.S. to Taiwan from 1995 to 1997. Thirdly, the overreaction effect exists from U.S. to the
open-to-close returns of Taiwan except from 1995 to 1997. The overreaction effect only exists
when price goes up or down greatly from 1995 to 1997, and there is no overreaction effect
when price goes down greatly in Financial Tsunami.
Keywords : Spillover effect, Overreaction effect, Ordinary least squares method, Least absolute deviations method

1. Introduction
With the decrease in government imposed formal barriers to the flow of capital across
countries, the integration of each country’s capital market has increased over the last several
years. Recent studies examine the interdependence of price change spillover effects across
developed and emerging markets. Eun and Shim (1989) used simulated responses of the
estimated VAR system and found that there is a multi-lateral interaction among national stock
markets. Innovations in the U.S. are quickly transmitted to other markets in a clearly
recognizable fashion.
Moreover, much of the literature shows that US stock market is the important factor
which influences the return of Taiwan stock market. They found that the spillover effect of
stock prices exists from the United States to Taiwan. Wei, Liu, Yang and Chaung (1995)
found that the stock prices of Taiwan stock market are more sensitive than Hong Kong stock
market, although Taiwan is not as open as Hong Kong and Taiwanese dollar is not connected
with the US dollar while the Hong Kong dollar is. Wang and Nguyen (2007) used NYSE,
S&P 500 and NASDAQ to test the transmission between Taiwan and US stocks under
asymmetry. The data period is from 1 January 1997 to 31 October 2001, and they proved that
there is the contagion between Taiwan and US stock markets. Chou, Lin and Wu (1999)
suggested the spillover effects occur for both the mean and the variance of the Taiwan stock
prices of the US, and the price change spillover effect from the US to Taiwan is significant.
Miyakoshi (2003) used EGARCH and GARCH to investigate the return spillover effects.
However, these previous works mostly used ARCH, GARCH, EGARCH and
M-GARCH models to examine the spillover effects of the stock market. They found the
spillover effects are in the mean and conditional variance, but the mean and conditional
variance could not represent the whole behaviors of these distributions, especially when they
are heterogeneous. In order to concern about the spillover effects of the entire distributions in
different price periods, the paper employs quantile regression model to investigate the price
change spillover effects completely. We also use close-to-open, open-to-close and
close-to-close returns to avoid the sample overlap problems.
The purpose of this study is (1) to examine price change spillover effects across US and
Taiwan stock markets then see if there is any difference when stock price goes up or down,
and (2) to investigate the overreaction effect in open-to-close returns of Taiwan stock market
and detect how the degree in different quantiles.
This paper is organized as follows. In the first part of Section II, we review the literature
related to cross-market spillover effects. In the second part of Section II, we introduce
literature related to overreaction effect. And in the last part of Section II, we also introduce
literature about quantile regression models. Section III introduces the data used in this paper
2. Literature Review
2.1 Cross-Market Spillover Effect
Over the past several years, there has been ample research on the price change spillover
effects. Wang, Liao and Shyu (2000) investigated the interactions and the factors of
determining returns and volatility among Asian markets. They found that the return of the
Taiwan stock market is influenced by U.S., Japan, Korea and Singapore. Lee, Rui and Wang
(2004) considered the transmission between the Nasdaq and Asian second board markets,
such as Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. They found that there is
strong evidence of lagged returns and volatility spillover effects from the NASDAQ market to
the Asian second board markets when excluding contemporaneous main board market returns.
Arshanapalli, Doukas and Lang (1995) revealed that there are common stochastic trends in
the US and the Asian stock markets after October 1987 because of a number of stock market
disasters. They also found that the integration degree between Asian stock markets and the US
stock market is higher than it between Asian stock markets and Japan.
Some researches directly examine the price change spillover effects between Taiwan and
the US. Chou, Lin and Wu (1999) used ARCH and M-GARCH to examine the price and
volatility linkages between the US and Taiwan stock market. Spillover effects in price
changes and volatility are found from the US stock market to the Taiwan stock market. Wei,
price. The result is that the spillover effects should not be observed in the open-to-close
returns under the efficient market hypothesis, since all available information from previous
foreign markets should be fully reflected in opening prices. Moreover, the Taiwanese market
is more sensitive than the Hong Kong market to the price and volatility behaviors of the
advanced markets. We conclude that there are price change spillover effects from the US
2.2 Overreaction effect
The first research about overreaction effect is raised by J. M. Keynes. He suggested
day-to-day fluctuations in the profits of existing investments have an altogether excessive, and
even an impossible, influence on the markets.
Fama (1970) thought that if the price changes of capital market have no correlation, it’s a
efficient market. He also divided the market into weak-form of the efficient market hypothesis,
semi-strong form of the efficient market hypothesis and strong form of the efficient market
hypothesis.
Roll (1988) looked at the R-squared for regressions of daily and monthly stock returns on
CAPM and APT factors and found that much of the variance in returns can not be explained.
Shiller (1981) revealed that measures of stock price volatility over the past century appear to
be too high to be attributed to new information about future real dividends if there is uncertainty
about future dividends. He concluded that stock prices are too volatile to be explained by
dividend changes and suggested that investors overreact to unobserved stimuli.
Kleidon (1982) found the movement of stock price to be strongly correlated with expected
changes in earnings for the following year and that it is a pattern of overreaction. Investors seem
to overestimate the importance to short-term economic developments.
De Bondt and Thaler (1985) found that investors overreact to short-term (i.e., a few years)
earnings movements. They suggested that most people overreact to the unexpected events, and
the performances of the portfolio of past “losers” are better than past “winners’” under the
overreaction hypothesis. Furthermore, there are large positive returns in losers’ portfolios every
January, and the effect can be observed as long as five years after portfolio formation. Fama and
French (1987) revealed the negative serial correlation in stock returns, and found significant
negative serial correlation in stock returns.
stock returns that can be attributed to various kinds of news. They found that it is difficult to
explain more than one third of the return variance from macroeconomic news, and concluded
that neither economic variables nor news stories can fully explain extreme aggregate price
movements.
Chan (2003) used monthly stock returns after two sources of stimuli. The first is public
news, which is identifiable from headlines and extreme concurrent monthly returns. The second
is large price movements unaccompanied by any identifiable news. He found that investors seem
to react slowly to valid information, causing drift. Moreover, investors overreact to price shocks,
2.3 Quantile regression
We usually use regression models to analysis the behavior of explained variables when
the dependent variable is known. In order to explain the model more, there are two ways to
make the error of the model smaller: First, we can use the ordinary least squares method (OLS)
to minimize the error sum of square. Secondly, we can use the least absolute deviations
method (LAD) to minimize the absolute value of error. Quantile regression is the extended
conception of LAD, and it corresponds to fitting the conditional median of the response
variable.
Quantile regression, developed by Koenker and Bassett (1978), is an extension of the
classical least squares estimation of the conditional mean to a collection of models for
different conditional quantile functions (Barnes and Hughes, 2002). By using quantile
regression, we don’t have to make any assumptions to the original distribution, it is
nonparametric. It is useful to analysis the data when the conditional distribution does not have
a normal distribution or standard shape, such as an asymmetric or fat-tailed distribution.
Koenker and Bassett (1982) suggest that given the regression parameter, if we don’t change
the plus and minus signs of the residual, the estimate won’t change even the distance between
sample and quantile is changed. In other words, no matter the outlier is large or small,
quantile regression is robustness.
can be supposed as follows:

Given the data

concept to calculate the quantile:

∑
Τ = ∧ ′ − = t 1 yt xtββθ , and it is exactly the objective function for LAD estimation.
The θth quantile regression estimator of βcan be obtained by minimizing the weighted
average of the absolute value of error:

Because we can’t find out the closed form solution of (4), we have to find another way to
solve the equation.
Nonlinear optimization, the traditional method of solution, can’t be used to solve the
equation. Koenker and Machado (1999) suggest the equation (4) is also the quasi-maximum
likelihood estimator which is used asymmetric Laplace (double exponential) density:

3.1 Sample
In this section, we examine daily stock prices of Taiwan and the United State from 7
November 1995 to 26 March 2009. In the case of the Taiwan stock market, we use the Taiwan
Weighted Stock Index and Over-the-Counter index. For the United States we use S&P500.
Because of different closing hours, we delete the data which only has partial market
information. There are 3178 daily returns included finally.
We retrieve the raw data of the Taiwan Weighted Stock Index and Over-the-Counter
index for the entire period from TEJ, and S&P500 from Yahoo Finance
(www.yahoo.com/finance).
In this paper, we use close-to-close returns of US to investigate whether the former
returns of US effects the returns of Taiwan. We discuss three market segments of Taiwan
stock which comprise close-to-open, open-to-close and close-to-close returns respectively.
We wanted to discuss the influences of different periods, especially between the Asian
Financial Crisis in 1997and recent Financial Tsunami recently, so we considered four periods
as follows: The first period is before the Asian Financial Crisis, because Over-the-Counter
index of TEJ starts from November 1995, we choose the data from 7 November1995 to 30
June 1997. According to Cheung, Cheung and Ng (2007) and Chang, M. C. (2008), the
Tsunami starts from the bankruptcy of New Century Financial Corporation in March 2007 by
some research (Ashcraft and Schuermann, 2008) and the international financial news of
Yahoo. The third period is between the crisis and Financial Tsunami from 3 July 2000 to 27
February 2007. The last period is during the tsunami from 1 March 2007 to 26 March 2009.
We use the following picture to understand the trading periods between US and Taiwan
easily. The “Ot” represents the opening stock price of t day, and the “Ct” represents the closing
stock price of t day. Because the trading dates of US are later than Taiwan’s, we can say that t
day of Taiwan stock market is influenced by t-1 day of US stock market. For example, the
return of US’s t day (the period from Ct-1 to Ct)affects three periods of Taiwan stock market:
(1).The period from the closing price of t day to the opening price of t+1 day (from Ct to Ot+1.)
(2). The period from the opening price of t+1 day to the closing price of t+1 day (from Ot+1 to
Ct+1.) (3).The period from the closing price of t day to the closing price of t+1 day (from Ct to
Ct+1,) and so on.
3.2 Descriptive Statistics
In Table 1, we show the descriptive statistics of the returns of Taiwan and US stock
markets from 1995/11/7 to 2009/3/26. Panel A shows the descriptive statistics for the
close-to-open returns of Taiwan stock markets and close-to-close returns of US stock markets.
The daily close-to-open returns are calculated by 100×log (ΡtOpen/ΡtClose−1 ).
<Panel A is inserted about here>
Panel B shows the descriptive statistics for the open-to-close returns of Taiwan stock
markets and close-to-close returns of US stock markets. The daily open-to-close returns are
calculated by 100×log (ΡtClose/ΡtOpen).
<Panel B is inserted about here>
Panel C shows the descriptive statistics for the close-to-close returns of Taiwan stock
markets and close-to-close returns of US stock markets. The daily close-to-close returns are
calculated by 100×log (ΡtClose/ΡtClose−1 ). And all the descriptive statistics of the returns of the series are given in Table1.
<Panel C is inserted about here>
In Table 1, we can know the difference between close-to-open, open-to-close and
close-to-close returns of TAIEX and OTC over the sample period from 1995/11/7 to
2009/3/26. The means of close-to-open returns of TAIEX and OTC are positive (Panel 1),
close-to-close returns of TAIEX is positive, however, OTC’s is negative (Panel 3).
For volatility, it is shown that the standard deviation of TAIEX and OTC are the smallest
in close-to-open returns. And the standard deviation of TAIEX and OTC are the highest in
close-to-close returns.
Close-to-open and close-to-close returns of TAIEX and OTC are negatively skewed, so
we know they shift to the left. And open-to-close returns of TAIEX and OTC are positively
skewed, so we know they shift to the right. Moreover, all moments of the returns have excess
kurtosis.
The means of close-to-close returns of NASDAQ, Dow Jones and S&P 500 are positive
and have excess kurtosis. Dow Jones and S&P 500 are negatively skewed and shift to the left.
However, NASDAQ is positive and shifts to the right.
In Panel 1, it is indicated that the volatility of NASDAQ return is the highest and the
close-to-open return of TAIEX is the smallest. In Panel 2, the volatility of NASDAQ return is
the highest and the Dow Jones is the smallest. And it is shown that the volatility of OTC
return is the highest and the Dow Jones is the smallest in Panel 3.
All the variables we use are returns, so we will not have any spurious regression. We can
use quantile regression directly.
4. Estimation Results
We regard S&P 500 as the independent variable, TAIEX and OTC as the dependent
variables. We use E-VIEWS to consider the quantile regression between the returns of S&P
500 and the returns of TAIEX and OTC respectively. Every 0.05 quantile from 0.05 to 0.95
(left to right) for each sample was chosen. Moreover, 0.01 and 0.99 quantiles are chosen,
because we want to know the highest and the lowest stock prices. The interception and slope
estimates are under 95% confidence interval and there are 21 results of quantile regression in
each sample period.
Table 2 to Table 11 document the empirical results of the influences from the returns of
US stock market to the returns of close-to-open stock market of Taiwan over the sample
period from 1995 to 2009.
Table 2 presents the results from 1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30, and most of the coefficients of
slope are significant positive at 5% or 10% significant level, except for θ= 0.05, 0.55, 0.6, 0.75, 0.8, 0.9. Moreover, it becomes non significant negative correlation where θ= 0.01. After 1997/7/2 (Table 3 to Table 5), there are significant positive correlations at 5%
significance level. And Table 6 shows that there is significant positive correlation between the
returns of US stock market and the close-to-open returns of TAIEX at 5% significance level
from 1995 to 2009.

Table 7 to Table 11 present the correlations between US stock market and the
close-to-open returns of OTC from1995/11/7 to 2009/3/26. In Table 7, there is non significant
positive correlation except for θ= 0.05, 0.9, 0.95 at 5% significance level and θ= 0.35 at 10% significance level. After 1997/7/2 (Table 8 to Table 10), there are significant positive
correlations at 5% significance level. Table 11 shows that there is significant positive
correlation between the returns of US stock market and the close-to-open returns of OTC at

Table 12 to Table 21 document the empirical results of the influences from the returns of
US stock market to the returns of open-to-close stock market of Taiwan over the sample
negative. Moreover, we find that there are significant negative at θ= 0.05 at 5% significance level, and at θ= 0.15, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 0.99 at 10% significance level. We know that there are negative correlations between the returns of US stock market and the returns of open-to-close
stock market of TAIEX from 1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30, though significant negative correlations
only occurred at the highest or lowest price.
< Table 12 is inserted about here >
Table 13 shows all of the coefficients of slope are significantly negative. Moreover, we
find that half of the quantiles are significant negative correlations. When θ= 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.8, 0.85, there are significant negative correlations at 5% significance level, and there
are significant negative correlations at θ= 0.15, 0.35, 0.75 at 10% significance level. < Table 13 is inserted about here >
After 2000/7/3, almost all the coefficients of slope are significant negative, except for
θ= 0.99 from 2000/07/03-2007/02/27 and θ= 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 from 2007/3/1 to 2009/3/26. There seems to be a significant negative trend when time goes by. Table 16 shows that there is
significant negative correlation between the returns of US stock market and the open-to-close
returns of TAIEX at 5% significance level from 1995 to 2009.
< Table 14 is inserted about here >
< Table 15 is inserted about here >
Table 17 shows that all the coefficients of slope are negative, and we find that there are
significant negative at θ= 0.01, 0.05 at 5% significance level, and at Q= 0.45, 0.9, 0.95 at 10% significance level. In Table 18, Table 19 and Table 20, almost all the coefficients of slope
are significant negative at 5% significance level, except for θ= 0.2, there is non significant at 10% level of significance from 1997/7/2 to 2000/6/30 (Table 18), and there is non significant
at θ= 0.1 at 10% level of significance from 2007/03/01-2009/03/26 (Table 20). Table 21 shows that there is significant negative correlation between the returns of US stock market
and the open-to-close returns of OTC at 5% significance level from 1995 to 2009.

Table 22 to Table 31 are documented the empirical results of the influences from the
returns of US stock market to the returns of close-to-close stock market of Taiwan over the
sample period from 1995 to 2009. Table 22 shows that most of the coefficients of slope are
non significant positive correlations, however, the coefficients of slope are non significant
negative correlations when θ= 0.1, 0.01, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95. There is significant negative correlation at θ= 0.01 at 5% significance level, but there is significant positive correlation at
θ= 0.99 at 10% significance level. After 1997/7/2 (Table 23, Table 24 and Table 25), there are almost significant positive correlations between the returns of US stock market and the
returns of TAIEX at 5% or 10 % significance level, except for θ= 0.95, 0.99 from 1997/7/2 to 2000/6/30 (Table 23) is non significant at 10% level of significance. Table 26 shows that
there is significant positive correlation between the returns of US stock market and the
close-to-close returns of TAIEX at 5% significance level from 1995 to 2009.

In Table 27, most of the coefficients of slope are non significant positive correlations
between the returns of S&P 500 and the close-to-close returns of OTC from 1995/11/06 to
1997/06/30, except when θ= 0.01, 0.05, 0.35, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95, there are non significant negative effects. Furthermore, there is significant negative correlation at θ= 0.01 at 5% significance level. After 1997/7/2, there is significant positive correlation at 5% significance
level, except for θ = 0.95 and 0.99, there are non significant positive effects at 10% significance level. Table 31 shows that there is significant positive correlation between the

We analyze how US stock mark influences Taiwan stock market at different quantiles by
using the quantile regression. And it can give us the suggestion what we should react as the
price goes up or down. This paper not only confirms the prior studies that Taiwan stock
market is influenced by the stock price of the US, but also discovers the overreaction effect.
We summarize the results in Table 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40 and our findings are as
follows:
1. For the close-to-open returns, there is significant positive effect from US to Taiwan stock
markets from 1995/11/7 to 2009/3/26. However, the price change spillover effect exists
when the stock price goes up or down greatly from 1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30 (Table 32 and
33). There seems to be a significant positive trend not only in TAIEX but also in OTC as
time goes by. In other words, we can say that there is the spillover effect from US stock
market to the close-to-open return of Taiwan stock market. Table 35 reports the slope
2009. We can know that both of the slope estimates are positive. In other words, there are
positive correlations not only between S&P 500 and close-to-open returns of TAIEX, but
also between S&P 500 and close-to-open returns of OTC. Moreover, we can find that the
slope estimates are different in most of the quantiles. OLS might underestimate the slope
estimate when price goes down but overestimate it when price goes up.
2. For the open-to-close returns, there is significant negative correlation between US and
Taiwan stock markets from 1995/11/7 to 2009/3/26. In other words, there are
overreaction effects both in TAIEX and OTC. For TAIEX, the negative effect is stronger
when the stock price goes up greatly from 1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30, however, the negative
effect is stronger when the stock price goes down greatly from 1997/7/2 to 2000/6/30.
From 2000/7/3 to 2009/3/26, the negative effect is significant. For OTC, the negative
impact is stronger when the stock price goes up or down greatly from 1995/11/7 to
2000/6/30. From 2000/7/3 to 2009/3/26, the negative effect is significant. Table 37
reports the slope estimate of both the quantile regression and ordinary least squares
method from 1995 to 2009. We can know that both of the slope estimates are negative. In
other words, there are negative correlations not only between S&P 500 and open-to-close
returns of TAIEX, but also between S&P 500 and open-to-close returns of OTC.
Moreover, we can find that the slope estimates are different in most of the quantiles. OLS
OLS underestimates the slope estimates.
3. For the close-to-close returns, there is significant positive correlation between US and
Taiwan stock markets from 1995/11/7 to 2009/3/26, except for the returns from
1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30. There is a negative effect from U.S. to Taiwan when the stock
price goes down greatly from 1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30. Furthermore, there seems to be a
significant positive trend not only in TAIEX but also in OTC as time goes by. And we can
conclude there is the spillover effect from US stock market to the close-to-close return of
Taiwan stock market. Table 40 reports the slope estimate of both the quantile regression
and ordinary least squares method from 1995 to 2009. We can know that both of the slope
estimates are positive. In other words, there are positive correlations not only between
S&P 500 and close-to-close returns of TAIEX, but also between S&P 500 and
close-to-close returns of OTC. Moreover, we can find that the slope estimates are
different in most of the quantiles. OLS might underestimate the slope estimate when price
goes down greatly, but otherwise overestimates the slope estimates.

5. Conclusion
In this paper, we use quantile regression and learn that both spillover effects and
overreaction effect exist from US stock market to Taiwan stock market, and we separate time
period from 1995/11/7 to 1997/6/30, 1997/6/30 to 2000/6/30, 2000/7/3 to 2007/2/27, and
from 2007/3/1 to 2009/3/26 to know the spillover effects and overreaction effect respectively.
We not only demonstrate the past research that there are spillover effects in close-to-open and
close-to-close returns (Chou, Lin, Wu, 1999 and Chang, 2008), but also find that there is a
overreaction effect in open-to-close returns. Furthermore, both of spillover effects and
overreaction effect become stronger over time.
We find that if we use OLS, we can only know there is positive or negative correlation
between U.S. and Taiwan on average. And OLS overestimates or underestimates the slope
estimate at different quantiles. Quantile regression makes us know the whole behavior of the
distribution, no matter the stock price goes up or down.
Because the spillover and overreaction effects exist from US stock market to Taiwan
stock market, there are some suggestions for investors. Firstly, because of the spillover effects,
we can judge whether tomorrow’s opening price or closing price of Taiwan stock market will
goes up by today’s closing price of US. Secondly, because of the overreaction effect, if the
closing stock price of US goes down and the opening stock price of Taiwan goes down greatly,
during Financial Tsunami. So investors should be more cautious as TAIEX stock prices go
down during Financial Tsunami.
In this paper, we didn’t take the limit regulation of stock price into consideration. The
price limit regulation delays stock price discovery process if the limits are hit (Wang, L. H.,
2000), so it could be a factor that influences overreaction from US to Taiwan. After 1989, the
price limit regulation changes from 5% to 7%, and there are seven times that the down limits
adjust to 3.5% in our time period. The seven times are as follows:
1. 1999/9/27~1999/10/9: 921 earth quake.
2. 2000/3/20~2000/3/24: the turnover of the regime.
3. 2000/10/4~2000/10/11: the resignation of Premier.
4. 2000/10/20~2000/11/7: the discontinuity of the fourth nuclear power plant.
5. 2000/11/21~2000/12/31: the falling of Taiwan stock market by 320 points.
6. 2001/9/19~2001/9/21: September 11 attacks.
7. 2008/10/13~2008/10/17: financial tsunami. Because each time period of these is short, we
didn’t take into account in this paper, the following researchers can expand in this
