Some works have more recently focused on major European, Asian and Latin American emerging markets. In general, these studies show significant short- and long-term relationships between oil price changes and emerging stock market returns. Using a VAR model, Papapetrou (2001) shows a significant relationship between oil price changes and stock markets in Greece. Basher and Sadorsky (2006) use an international multifactor model and reach the same conclusion for other emerging stock markets. .
