Impact statement: The purpose of this paper is to examine the interconnected dynamics of the affected Asian financial markets and the global financial markets in relation to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We particularly examine the temporal dependence and connectedness of the affected markets with the global financial market using a time-varying dependence approach in a time-frequency space during COVID-19. Our findings indicate a strong, positive dependence among the investigated markets due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, we report an increased tendency toward co-movement over a longer horizon, as documented by COVID-19. These findings are of significant interest to market participants, policymakers, and international investors.
