By “shift-volatility”, we mean the volatility shifts from a low level to a high level corresponding respectively to tranquil and crisis periods. We examine the interdependence of equity volatilities between Hong-Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and the United States. Our main issue is whether shift-volatility needs to be considered as a regional phenomenon, or from a more global perspective. We propose several indicators that are be useful to guide the investors in their arbitrage behavior in the different regimes: the duration of each state, the sensitivity of the volatility in a market following a change in the volatility in another market. Finally, we are able to identify which market can be considered as leading markets in terms of volatility. %G English %L hal-01410782 %U https://hal.parisnanterre.fr//hal-01410782 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-PARIS10 %~ AO-ECONOMIE %~ ECONOMIX %~ SHS %~ UPN %~ GREQAM %~ EHESS %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ UNIV-AMU %~ AMSE %~ UNIV-PARIS-LUMIERES %~ UNIV-PARIS-NANTERRE
