    Vek, Uroš ; Jagrič, Timotej ; Markovič-Hribernik, Tanja
    This paper examines the volatility of the stock indices of two world powers - USA and China, before and during the global financial crisis. Generally, it is believed that markets of developing ... countries are riskier than the developed capital markets. The purpose of this study was to confirm or reject this common belief, to determine whether the characteristics of American stock market fluctuation changed during the crisis, and to compare its volatility to China. We used three different GARCH models to examine the volatility. The study confirmed that during the global financial crisis volatility significantly increased on both stock markets. The results of this study thus do not support the common belief that the developed capital market is subject to relatively lower volatility than the developing market. During the current global financial crisis, the developed American market has actually been more volatile than the Chinese one.
