We find that the volatility spillover effects are significant, especially in the direction of stocks to ADRs. The results indicated that the indirect barriers indeed exist between Taiwanese and the U.S. markets. We attribute indirect barriers to the different accounting standards, different level of corporate government, different level of liquidity, different level of information availability, and the business overlap. The finding is consistent with the finding of Miller (1999). However, we find that Taiwanese stocks are price leaders instead of ADR. We attribute the reason to the liquidity and availability of information of stocks in Taiwan. This is a contradiction of Domowitz, Glen, and Madhavan (1998). They argue that “From the viewpoint of domestic market-makers, there is a positive probability that the price in the foreign market reflects more recent information. This is especially so when trading activity in the ADR market greatly exceeds that of the domestic market so that price discovery essentially takes place abroad.application/pdf185516 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TW國立臺灣大學財務金融學系暨研究所reporthttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/16280/1/912416H002041.pdf
