An accurate characterization of volatility spillover in the MENA region will have direct implications for financial hedging, portfolio management, and asset allocation, and, most important, in designing policies to mitigate the effects of possible contagion. In this article, we examine inter-MENA and from-the-world-to-MENA return volatility spillovers, at both the market and sectoral levels, for the period January 2008-December 2012.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMiddle East And North AfricaStock Market ReturnsVolatility SpilloversIndustrial-StructureCommon VolatilityDynamic LinkagesStock MarketsUnited-StatesMiddle-EastTransmissionReturnsIntegrationContagionArticle2-s2.0-8494425788410.1080/1540496X.2015.108051411746Q1116351Q3WOS:000363215900009
