Abstract
This study examines how the European stock market reacts to the US fundamentals including the Federal Fund Rate (FFR), the Euro-dollar exchange rate, and the US stock market indices. The results from Johansen and Juselius cointegration technique suggest that a long-term relationship exists between the European stock market, and the US fundamentals. The Granger causality test indicates that causality runs from the US to European stock market. Using a ector Error Correction Model (VECM) we measure the long and short-term elasticity of the European Stock Market not only to European fundamentals, but to the US fundamentals, the parity of the Euro-dollar exchange rate, and the US stock market indices. Results from variance decomposition technique indicate that the US business cycles play a dominant role in explaining the European stock market volatility, compared with EU fundamentals.
