ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of COVID-19 on six stock market indexes
of countries listed on ASEAN Exchanges and three stock market indexes of countries listed on
ASEAN Exchanges which have sectoral index of consumer products and property. The
variables used in this study were the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
event; price and return of the six stock market indexes. The sample data in this study were
measured based on the entire study period, before the date of the first confirmed case of
COVID-19, and after the date of the first confirmed case of COVID-19. The population in
this study is all stock market indexes of countries as well as all those that have sectoral index
of consumer products and property in ASEAN Exchanges. This study was a population study
conducted in the period of- by using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)
Model, Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) Family Models, and
California Managed Accounts Reports (Calmar) Ratio as the tools for analysis. The results
showed that all the variables tested had a highly significant degenerating long-term
relationship due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; there was an ARCH or GARCH
effect in all stock market indexes in ASEAN Exchanges affected by the COVID-19 pandemic;
and there was a relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic event and the return on the
country's stock market index and which for the consumer products and property sector in the
ASEAN Exchanges with heterogeneous returns and the distribution of risk levels was
inefficient.

1. INTRODUCTION
Coronavirus is one of the main pathogens that substantially targets the human
respiratory system. Previous outbreaks of coronaviruses (CoVs), including Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV,
have previously been marked as agents of threat to community health. WHO then announced
a new official name for the disease at February 11, 2020, as COVID-19 (previously known as
"2019 novel coronavirus") which was caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome of
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)[1]. As of June 25, 2020, there have been 9,296,202 confirmed
positive cases of COVID-19 and 479,133 deaths caused by COVID-19 worldwide.
Meanwhile, in Southeast Asia, there were 663,308 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 19,156
deaths caused by COVID-19 [2].
The lack of unified action to try to control the spread of the virus has driven global
stock markets into collective panic and hysteria, resulting in a black week on Monday, March
9, 2020, and Thursday, March 12, 2020 with dramatically dropping global stock markets[3].
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, investor sentiment is affecting stock market
significantly. This investor sentiment will affect the stock return[4]. Such situation causes
short-term investor overreaction. In Chen et al. [5], the previous epidemic of S.A.R.S. has
weakened the long-term relationship between the Chinese stock market and the stock markets
of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan. S.A.R.S. Epidemic created some heterogeneity
in investment opportunities and resulted in an inefficient international risk sharing
environment. In Ichev and Marinč's research[6], it was found that the- Ebola
outbreak was followed by negative returns on financial markets. The Ebola outbreak
increased anxiety, bad mood, and fear which led to risk aversion and pessimism among
investors.
However, in the research conducted by Macciocchiet al. [7], the analysis showed
positive average returns for each of the three Latin American and Caribbean Countries (LCR)
stock market indexes affected by the shock due to the ZIKV epidemic in the short-term as
observed with the following results: Brazil (0.29%), Argentina (0.25%), and Mexico (0.08%).

Furthermore, in the research conducted by Funck and Gutierrez[8] it was found that, in
aggregate, negative daily news about Ebola had no impact on securities returns and the
average daily excess return on non-news days was 0.05%, compared with 0.52% on news
days of Ebola. In addition, this research also found the fact that the pharmaceutical and
restaurant industries experienced a statistically significant positive return on the day of
negative Ebola news.
So far the world has experienced several epidemics and the spread of infectious
diseases such as the Avian Flu (H5N1) pandemic, the Swine Flu (H1N1pdm09) pandemic,
the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemic, the Zika Virus (ZIKV) epidemic, the SARS-CoV
epidemic, the MERS-CoV epidemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The condition of the
epidemic and the spread of infectious diseases certainly not only affects public health but also
the macro economy and capital markets. Researching the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on the stock market index and stock market return indexes of countries listed on the ASEAN
Exchanges was a challenge for the author since the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in
extraordinary situations that changed the way people live in the future, which also led to a
decline in economic trends, so that would also affect the expectations and sentiment of
investors in the capital market which in turn would have an impact on the return of an asset.
Anxiety over the COVID-19 pandemic can create negative feelings that can affect investment
decisions and subsequent asset returns. In this study, an analysis was conducted on the stock
market indexes of countries in ASEAN Exchanges which have sectoral index of consumer
products and property in accordance with Wright and Blackburn [9] that some people have
had to save their money due to less income than before the outbreak. Then, according to
Thorpe and Rockey[10] in terms of the impact on the property sector, COVID-19 causes
slower movements and leasing fundamentals do not swing from day to day, and certainly,
this virus has sustainable and material impact on the broader economy as well as on property.
2. THEORITICAL REVIEW AND HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT
Coronavirus Diseases 2019 (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a single-stranded RNA virus with a diameter of 80-120 nm. Prior to
SARS-CoV-2, there were six coronaviruses known to cause disease in humans, including
SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. SARS-CoV-2 is a member of the Coronaviridae family and the
Nidovirales order. The family consists of two subfamilies, namely Coronavirinae and
Torovirinae, and members of the Coronavirinae subfamilies are further divided into four
genera: (a) α-coronavirus includeshumancoronavirus(HCoV) -229E and HCoV-NL63; (b) βcoronavirus includes HCoV-OC43, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome human coronavirus
(SARS-HCoV), HCoV-HKU1, and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus
(MERS-CoV); (c) γ-coronavirusincludes whale and avian viruses and; (d) δ-coronavirus
includes viruses isolated from pigs and birds. SARS-CoV-2 belongs to β-coronavirusalong
with two highly pathogenic viruses, SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. SARS-CoV-2 is a virus
enveloped in positive-sense single-strandedRNA (+ ssRNA) virus [12]-[13].
Stock Market Index

MODUS Vol. 33 (1): 47-66
ISSN- / ISSN (Online-
According to Lo [14], the traditional definition of index is a weighted-market
capitalization of a fixed set of securities today which is not because of the inherent superiority
or implementation of the economy, but of the past success which has led to inertia in
considering other alternatives. According to Caplinger[15], the stock market index is a
measure of the stock market, or a small part of the market, which helps investors comparing
the current price with the previous price to calculate market performance.
Sectoral Index
According to IGI Global [16], sectoral index is an index that shows the performance of
stocks grouped according to certain industries. According to MoneyWords.com [17], sectoral
index is a stock exchange composite index that reflects the market activity of a particular
industry or sector.
Return and Financial Return
According to Hayes [18], return is also known as financial return, or in the simpler
term, is money generated or lost from an investment over a certain period of time. According
to Rust et al. (1995) in Nieboer and Gruis[19], basically, the definition of financial return is
very simple. The realized financial return during a certain period are the same as the net
proceedings that have been realized during that period, related to the initial amount of the
invested capital.
Stock Market Return
According to ECONOMYWATCH [20], stock market return is the return that investors
generate from the stock market. This return can be in the form of profit through trading or in
the form of dividends distributed by the company to its shareholders from time to time. Stock
market return can be obtained through dividends declared by the company.
Short- and Long-Term Relationship
In the study conducted by Chen et al. [5], the previous S.A.R.S. epidemic has
weakened the long-term relationship between the Chinese stock market and the stock markets
of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan. S.A.R.S. epidemic created some heterogeneity
in investment opportunities and resulted in an inefficient international risk sharing
environment. In Au et al.[21], it was found that the S.A.R.S. impact on the Hong Kong
tourism industry was said to be more damaging than the 9-11 event or the 1997 Asian
Financial crisis in Hong Kong, however, this event would only have a short-term effect
temporarily. In the study conducted by Morales and Andreosso-O'Callaghan [3], it was found
that there is a short-term effont on major global stock markets which appears to be the trigger
and channel for global turmoil in the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on these considerations,
this study proposes the following hypothesis:
H1: There is a short-term or long-term relationship between the country's stock market index
and the country's stock market index
Volatility of Stock Market Index Affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic
In the study Chenet al.[22]used an event study with the GARCH process to show that
there was a sector-specific positive shock in Taiwan during the SARS outbreak period. The
50
MODUS Vol. 33 (1): 47-66
ISSN- / ISSN (Online-
findings of this study indicated that the stocks of the T&W sector (hotel industry) was
sensitive to the SARS outbreak and the stock performance was expected to respond to a
repeat of any of such disaster (such as “Avian Flu”). However, not all disasters only have a
negative impact on the stock market. The return of shares of the Taiwanese biotechnology
company had a positive shock in the face of the SARS crisis; In the study by Liu et al. [11],
COVID-19 increased stock market volatility in all affected countries, the results of the study
also showed a greater effect not only on the stock market in Asia but also the inevitable effect
on countries outside Asia. In the study conducted by Pendell and Cho[23], it was found that
the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease of animals increased the volatility of daily returns.
Volatility changes were greater when the outbreak lasted for a longer period. Both companies
that reacted positively and negatively show increased volatility, indicating that the outbreak
increased the risk of return regardless of the impact on company value.
H2: There is an ARCH and/or GARCH effect in the stock market index of countries listed in
ASEAN Exchanges that are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic
The Relationship between COVID-19 Pandemic and Return on the Country’s Stock
Market Index and Country’s Stock Market Index.
In the study conducted by Chen et al. [24], at the day and the day after the S.A.R.S.
outbreak, the hotel stocks in Taiwan showed significant negative average cumulative
abnormal returns, indicating a significant impact of the SARS outbreak on the performance
of hotel stocks. In the study of Macciocchiet al. [7], the analysis showed positive average
returns for each of the three Latin American and Caribbean Countries (LCR) stock market
indexes affected by the shock due to the ZIKV epidemic in the short-term period as observed
with the following results: Brazil (0.29%), Argentina (0.25%), and Mexico (0.08%). AlAwadhi et al. [25] stated that, specifically, stock returns were significantly negatively related
to daily growth in total confirmed cases and daily growth in total deaths caused by COVID19.
H3: There is a relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and the return on the country's
stock market index and the country's stock market index

Research Variables
The variables of this study were Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); the prices and
returns of six stock market indexes of countries listed in the ASEAN Exchanges and three
stock market indexes of countries listed in the ASEAN Exchanges which have sectoral index
of consumer products and property. As for the measurement of sample data in this study, the
time used was based on the followings:

long-term relationships as well as the volatility of the stock market index of the countries
listed and stock market index of consumer products and property sector of countries listed
in ASEAN Exchanges.
o Before the date of the first confirmed case the COVID-19 by each ASEAN Exchange
member countryto analyze the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and
returns on the country's stock market index as well as the stock market index of consumer
products and property sector of countries listed in ASEAN Exchanges.
o After the date of the first confirmed case the COVID-19 by each ASEAN Exchange
member countryto analyze the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and
returns on the country's stock market index as well as the stock market index of consumer
products and property sector of countries listed in ASEAN Exchanges.
The followings are the date of the first confirmed case of COVID-19 of each member
country of ASEAN Exchanges to determine the T0 (t-zero):

Data Analysis Method
Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model
According to Pesaret al. (1999) in Memdani and Shenoy[38], Autoregressive
Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is a least squares regression that includes the lag of the
dependent and independent variables. The dependent and independent variables are also
related through their lagged values. The ARDL model in this study followed Pesaret al.
(2001) in Memdani and Shenoy[38]which can be written in the following form:

The ARDL model is used to show whether there is a short or long term relationship
between the COVID-19 pandemic and all stock market indexes of countries listed in the
ASEAN Exchanges. In this study, the type of ARDL estimation model used was Usual
Cointegrating Relationship. In addition, for better analysis results, a study the speed of
adjustment equation will be carried out using the Error Correction Form in this ARDL
Model.
Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) Family Models
ARCH and GARCH multi-regression models were used to analyze the volatility of all
stock market indexes of countries on the ASEAN Exchanges affected by COVID-19. The
equation for the conditional mean is as follows:
Often xt contains lag yt and dummies for market specific features. The ARCH (1)
model also specifies the equation for conditional variance:
[
]
In order to ensure that σ2t ≥ 0, it requires „ ≥ 0, α ≥ 0. If 2 t-1 of height, the variance of
the next shock, t, is great. The researcher made a condition in information set It 1 – 1 = {t – 1,
t – 2, t – 3,…}. Least Square is used to perform tests based on probability values. The
residual is also checked for volatility graphically. If it meets the level, then the next step can
be continued with The Breusch-Godfrey LM Test for Serial Correlation, ARCH LM test and
ARCH test with the coefficient covariance Bollerslev-Wooldridge which is ultimately used to
determine the level of the impact of COVID-19 and the price volatility of the stock market
indexes of the countries listed in ASEAN Exchanges..
California Managed Accounts Reports (Calmar) Ratio
Calmar ratio was developed by Terry W. Young in 1991. Calmar ratio is short for
California Managed Account Report [39]. According to Young (1991) in Carles[40], Calmar
ratio is RAPM in which the maximum drawdown is the biggest loss that can be incurred by
investors by buying assets at the highest value and selling them at the lowest value. As shown
by the equation, Calmar ratio measures the annualized rate of return on investment's absolute
drawdown value:
Where:
= Index Return
= Absolute value of the maximumdrawdown in a period
The California Managed Accounts Reports (Calmar) Ratio analysis is used to analyze
the performance comparison of the return on the stock market indexes of the countries in the
ASEAN Exchanges and the stock market indexes of the countries in the ASEAN Exchanges
which have sectoral index of consumer products and property before and after the COVID-19
pandemic.

(ARDL LongRun
Form)
Based on the Summary Table of Eviews Output 4.2, the F-statistic value is-;
0.32584;-, proven to be greater than I (1) critical value bound.. The analysis result
of this series shows that the null hypothesis is rejected and there is no equilibrating
relationship. In addition, since the null hypothesis has been rejected and the inclusion of
constants or trends in cointegrating relationships has not been included, the exposition of this
series suggests that the t-Bounds Test critical values can be used to determine which
alternatives emerge. In the summary, the absolute value of the statistics is |-| =
2,950426;|-0,030061| = 0,030061; and |-0,603854| = and the result is greater than the absolute
value I (0) or I (1) t-bound.
These results also indicate that the null hypothesis t-Boundstest is rejected, and it can be
concluded that the cointegration relationship is one of the usual types, or valid, but
degenerates based on the variables of each object of analysis and its EC Model in the
Summary Table of the Eviews Output 4.1. However, as seen in the suitability between the
dependent variable and the equilibration equation, it shows that the relationship is valid. The

graph regarding the validity of degeneration based on the variables of each object of analysis
and its EC Model is presented below.
Based on the results of Graph 1, it would certainly be better if there was a study on the
speed of adjustment equation using the Error Correction Form. Error Correction, referred as
CointEq (-1) in the Summary Table of EViews Output 4.2, is described as follows:
Stock Market Indexes of Countries (ASEAN Exchanges): negative with an approximate
associated coefficient of -. This implies that approximately 12.35% of each
movement towards disequilibrium is corrected in one period. In addition, with a very
large t-statistic of -, it can be concluded that the coefficient is highly significant.
Stock Market Sectoral Index of Consumer Products (ASEAN Exchanges): negative with
an approximate associated coefficient of -. This implies that approximately
0.116% of each movement towards disequilibrium is corrected in one period. In addition,
with a large t-statistic of -, it can be concluded that the coefficient is highly
significant.
Stock Market Sectoral Index of Property (ASEAN Exchanges): negative with an
approximate associated coefficient of -. This implies that approximately 1.10%
of each movement towards disequilibrium is corrected in one period. In addition, with a
very large t-statistic of -, it can be concluded that the coefficient is highly
significant.

KLCI Index (FBM KLCI), The Stock Exchange of Thailand Index (SETI), Philippine
Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) after the COVID-19 pandemic were better than the period
before the COVID-19 pandemic event. This was due to the increase in the value of the
Calmar ratio of each of the country's stock market index. However, if measured from the
perspective of trading performance, none of the country's stock market index had
generated profit because all of these indexes had negative Calmar ratio values.
The best return performance from all stock market indexes of countries listed on the
ASEAN Exchangers was found in the IDX Composite (IHSG), which had the highest
difference in the value of Calmar ratio after the COVID-19 pandemic, which was-

Meanwhile, the worst return performance of all stock market indexes of countries registered
at ASEAN Exchanges was found in the Straits Times Index (STI) which had the lowest
difference in the value of the Calmar ratio after the COVID-19 pandemic, which was -0.2817.

The interpretations of the output of Calmar model (Table 4.4) are as follows:
The return performance of KL Consumer Products & Services and KL Property before
the COVID-19 pandemic was better than the period after the COVID-19 pandemic. This
was due to a decrease in the value of the Calmar ratio of each of the country's stock
market index.
The return performance of the IDX Consumer Goods Industry Sector Index, IDX
Property, Real Estate, and Building Construction Sector Index, SET Consumer Products,
and SET Property & Construction after the COVID-19 pandemic was better than the
period before the COVID-19 pandemic. This was due to the increase in the value of the
Calmar ratio of each of the country's stock market index. However, if measured from the
perspective of trading performance, only the IDX Consumer Goods Industry Sector Index
that was profitable because it had a positive Calmar ratio value of 0.0715.
The best return performance of all stock market indexes of countries in the consumer
products and property sector listed in the ASEAN Exchanges was found in the IDX
Consumer Goods Industry Sector Index, which had the highest difference in the value of
the Calmar ratio after the COVID-19 pandemic, which was 1.7677.
Meanwhile, the worst return performance of all stock market indexes of countries in the
consumer products and property sector listed in the ASEAN Exchanges was foudn in KL
Consumer Products & Services, which had the lowest difference in the value of the
Calmar ratio after the COVID-19 pandemic, which was -0.3810.

5. DISCUSSION
The Relationship between Short-Term and Long-Term Relationships of Stock Market
Indexes of the Countries and Stock Market Indexes of the Countries
Thus, based on the description and explanation on the Results of the Research, the
alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, as follow:
The price of IDX Composite has a long-term relationship with the prices of STI, FTSE
Bursa Malaysia KLCI, Thailand SET Index, Vietnam VN Index Price, and PSEi
Composite which degenerate highly significant due to the impact of the COVID-19

pandemic. This was due to the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an extraordinary
situation which could result in a downturn in economic trends, so that it would also affect
investors' expectation and sentiment in the capital market which ultimately would have
an impact on the return of an asset, especially for the stock market indexes of countries
listed in ASEAN Exchanges.
The IDX Consumer Industry price has a long-term relationship with the prices of KL
Consumer Products and the SET Consumer Products which degenerate highly
significant due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Wright and
Blackburn [9], this was due to the consumers were highly worried about the impact of
this pandemic on society at large and some consumers had had to save their spending due
to less income than before the outbreak.
The price of IDX Property has a long-term relationship with KL Property and SET
Consumer Property & Construction which degenerate highly significant due to the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Thorpe and Rockey[10] in terms of the
impact on the sector property, this was due to the COVID-19 caused slower movement
and leasing fundamentals were not busy day by day. Certainly, this virus has a
sustainable and material impact on the broader economy, as it will have an impact on
property.
Then, the overall results of the above discussion were also supported by the results of
previous studies, namely: (1) the study conducted by Chaouachi&Chaouachi[41], in which
the results showed that there was only a negative impact of COVID-19 on the KSA Stock
Exchange (TASI) in the long-term relationship. The causality test showed unidirectional
causality from the prevalence measure of COVID-19 to the stock market as well; (2) the
study conducted by Gherghina, Armeanu, &Joldes[42] where the empirical findings from the
ARDL model and the Granger causality test confirmed the existence of long-term and shortterm relationships between the Romanian capital market and the COVID-19 variable.
Volatility of Stock Market Indexes of Countries Listed in ASEAN Exchanges Affected
by COVID-19 Pandemic
Research, it can be seen that the alternative hypothesis (H2) is accepted that there is an
ARCH or GARCH effect in all stock market indexes of countries listed in ASEAN
Exchanges affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as this can occur because the phenomenon
of the COVID-19 accidental death case provides an informative 'opportunity' for market
players to learn something about investor psychology and human behavior. The Covid-19
pandemic represents a new and frightening risk. Thus, this triggers the feverish behavior of
investors. Thus we can clearly realize that financial markets are human driven, and, as such,
very behaving, regardless of fundamental trends [43].
Then these results are also reinforced from the results of previous studies, namely (1)
the study conducted by Liu et al. [11] on COVID-19, it was found that the stock market
volatility in all affected countries increased. The results of study also show a greater impact
not only on the stock market in Asia but also the inevitable effect on countries outside Asia;
and; (2) the study conducted by Apergis&Apergis research [43] using the GARCHX model
allows us to explore the Covid-19 information into the GARCH framework of which results

show that the daily increase in the total number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 in China,
measured as total daily deaths and cases, has a significant negative impact on stock returns
with the negative impact of Covid-19's on stock returns becoming more pronounced when the
total deaths represent the impacts of such infectious disease.
Impact on the Return on the Stock Market Indexes of Countries and the Stock Market
Indexes of Countries Listed in the ASEAN Exchanges for Consumer Products and Property
Sector
From the overall output and analysis on the Calmar model contained in the Research
Results, we can see that the alternative hypothesis (H3) is accepted, that there is a
relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and return on the stock market indexes of
countries and the stock market indexes of countries listed in ASEAN Exchanges in the
consumer products and property sector. This was due to the outbreak/pandemic of a disease
which can result in panic and different perceptions for investors in the capital market
regarding an asset, causing the index price movement to become volatile. So that, when it
was analyzed using the Calmar model, the rate of return becomes heterogeneous and varied
and the division of the level of risk becomes inefficient.
Furthermore, these results were also supported by the results of previous studies, as
follows: (1) In the study conducted by IchevdanMarinč[6], it was found that the results of the- Ebola outbreak were followed by negative returns on financial markets and they
also confirmed that geographic proximity of information to financial markets increased the
importance of events (related to the- Ebola outbreak) and their impact on company
stock returns, (2) In the study conducted by Chen et al. [24] at the time and after the S.A.R.S.
outbreak day, hotel stocks in Taiwan showed significant negative average cumulative
abnormal returns, indicating the significant impact of the SARS outbreak on the performance
of hotel stocks as well, (3) In the study conducted by Macciocchiet al. [7], the analysid shows
a positive average return for each of the three Latin American and Caribbean Countries
(LCR) stock market indexes affected by shock due to the ZIKV epidemic in the short-term
period as observed with the following results: Brazil (0.29%), Argentina (0.25%), and
Mexico (0.08%).
6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on data analysis and the discussion regarding the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on the stock market index and stock market return index, especially on the stock
market indexes of countries and the state stock market indexes of countries listed in ASEAN
Exchanges for the consumer products and property sectors, it can be concluded as follows:
The price of IDX Composite has a long-term relationship with the prices of STI, FTSE
Bursa Malaysia KLCI, Thailand SET Index, Vietnam VN Index Price, and PSEi Composite
which degenerate highly significant due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The IDX
Consumer Industry price has a long-term relationship with the prices of KL Consumer
Products and the SET Consumer Products which degenerate highly significant due to the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The price of IDX Property has a long-term relationship
with KL Property and SET Consumer Property & Construction which degenerate highly
significant due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. There was an ARCH or GARCH

effect in all stock market indexes of countries listed in ASEAN Exchanges affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic. There was a relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and the
return on the stock market indexes of countries and the stock market indexes of countries for
the consumer products and property sector in the ASEAN Exchanges with returns that were
heterogeneous/varied and the distribution of risk levels became inefficient.
