Abstract

This paper examines equity market risk measured by beta-volatility of stock returns over 2002-2011 for Middle Eastern oil producing countries namely Iran, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and UAE. First, the paper examines whether the dynamic behavior of stock market returns has changed during the last decade. Using a Dynamic Conditional Correlation model we find that the stock market returns of the sampled countries are not definitely correlated in the short-term. So, international investors may get the short-term diversification benefits by diversifying their portfolios among the Middle Eastern equity markets. Second, in our dynamic panel data framework, after controlling for size and turnover, our results provide evidence in favor of the view that the broadening of the investor base by increasing degree of financial globalization doesn't reduce the total volatility of stock returns. Our results are important for Middle Eastern oil producing countries policy makers, portfolio managers, as well as academics.
