RUIZ-PORRAS, Antonio  e  ANGUIANO-PITA, Javier Emmanuel. Financial market integration in the NAFTA region: An Analysis of the money, currency and stock markets. Anál. econ. [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.87, pp.9-40.  Epub 13-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-6655.

We study the integration of the money, currency and stock markets of the nafta region. The study uses unit-root and endogenous structural change tests and dynamic correlations. The results show that: 1) The financial integration processes have been unstable in the region; 2) all the markets experienced structural changes; 3) there are not necessarily processes toward the integration of the markets; and, 4) financial integration processes have been heterogeneous among the markets and the countries. We use monthly series representative of the financial markets for the period from January 1995 to January 2019.
