IntroductionSince its creation in 1993. the CBOLÌ Volatility Index (V1X) has become widely considered as one of the best measures of investor sentiment in the world. Although the calculation Are Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent- of the V1X is quite complex, it has become an invaluable source of information because it is a good gauge of fear among investors. When investors opeAre Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-

Moreover, there has been an explosion of exchange-traded products that track the VIX, making understanding the dynamics of VTX movements more important to investors.Despite the prevalence of research on volatility spillover (ll Are Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-amao. Masulis. and Ng (1990); Engle (1994); Kanas (1998)), very little work has been done to study the dynamics of the spillover between volatility inAre Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-

The large body of previous literature on volatility' spillover has calculated volatility from returns, using a GARCH-like variance equation or Undergraduate Economic ReviewVolume 14 Issue 1Article 82017Are Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent?

Given the past literature on realized volatility- spillover, there is strong evidence that implied volatility indices should be interdependent. Previous literature (ỉỉamao, Masulis. and Ng (1990); Engle (1994); Kanas (1998)) has demonstrated that most of realized volatilityspillover conics f Are Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-rom the US. Given the popularity of the V1X, one would expect that this would be true for implied volatility spillover as well. This paper makes a strAre Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-

This technique has been previously applied by Bessler and YanAre Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-

A DAG is a technique that is useful for identifying the contempoUndergraduate Economic ReviewVolume 14 Issue 1Article 82017Are Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent?

The use of DAG to solve the identification problem in the VAR is significantly more attractive than the widely used Cholesky factorization2, which makes a strong assumption about the true data generating process and is extremely sensitive to variable ordering.3The contribut Are Volatility Expectations in Different Countries Interdependent-ion of this paper is fourfold.
