ABSTRACT
This paper investigates the time-varying relationship between the stock markets of advanced and emerging oil-exporting and oil-importing countries and the international crude oil price indices. The results reveal that the time-varying among the oil-exporting and oil-importing countries responds similarly to aggregate supply- and demand-side effects. Oil-exporting countries have a slightly higher integration with the oil markets, while oil supply shocks have a slightly higher impact on emerging oil-exporting countries. The oil markets exhibit a lower time-varying relationship with the Asia-Pacific oil-importing markets, which indicates those markets may be attractive to investors during periods of turbulence in the oil market.

3 We have selected the major oil-importing and oil-exporting countries from the top twenty provided by Workman (Citation2017), while the USA is within the top twenty oil-exporting/importing countries.
4 For more detail on the timeline for the oil price shock and related events, see Kilian (Citation2009). In addition to this, the GARCH-DCC models for the full sample, reveals that oil supply shocks have a slightly higher impact on emerging oil-exporting countries.
