The aim of this paper is to investigate in an asset-pricing perspective the cross-asset and the cross-country contagion in the sovereign Credit Default Swap market and in the banking sector for the euro area, U.S., U.K. and Switzerland.

During crisis times, investor sentiment and inflation become key factors in predicting stock returns. Different tests and goodness of fit measures point out that the use of regime-switching models is more appropriate than linear models. To our knowledge, this study is …
