ABSTRACT: The stock market is a major component of the financial sector of any
economy and it is particularly affected by crude oil price. Moreover, the
financialization of the oil market in the last three decades increased its
association with the financial markets. The main purpose of this paper is to
uncover similarities among the economy of selected countries based on the
association between their national stock markets and crude oil price. This is
achieved by time series clustering of the conditional correlations between the
national stock market index returns and crude oil price returns estimated from
bivariate GARCH models. The clusters do not lead to a clear classification
concerning the countries’ stage of development, emerging and developed, or the geographical region
which can be explained by crude oil market financialization.
