The paper examines the short-run spillover effect of daily stock returns and volatilities between the S&P 500 in the U.S. and Shanghai SSE composite in China. First, we find that a structural break happened in the SSE stock return mean in December 2005. Second, analyzing modified GARCH (1,1)-M models, we find evidence of a symmetric and asymmetric volatility spillover effect from the U.S. to the China stock market in the post-break period. Third, the symmetric volatility spillover effect from China to the U.S. is also observed in the post-break period.
