Abstract: This study aimed to assess risk diversification in the capital markets of nine Asian countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Ko­rea, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, China, and Taiwan. The research posed two main questions: (i) Did events in 2020 and 2022 create inefficiencies in these markets? (ii) If so, did autocorrelation of returns lead to increased linkag­es among these markets? The findings revealed the presence of autocorrela­tion, conditional heteroscedasticity, and nonlinear elements in the sample, suggesting persistence in returns during both tranquil and stressful periods. Consequently, the first research question was refuted, indicating that market (in)efficiencies were not significantly influenced by these events. Additionally, the analysis using the rhoDCCA method did not suggest integration between the markets, leading to the rejection of the second research question. These re­sults have implications for investors, regulators, and supervisors in these mar­kets, suggesting a need to consider measures that align with the random walk and martingale hypotheses in stock price creation.
