Abstract
We analyze the relationship between returns on equity and long-term government bonds in the crisis-hit
Eurozone peripheral economies. In particular, we are interested in the stability of the relationship across
differing market conditions and if long-term bonds act as a safe haven for equity investors during periods
of financial distress. Employing a Markov-switching vector autoregression model with three regimes, we
find that the stock-bond relationship varies across market conditions and across countries. Overall we
observe increased comovement during the crisis regimes at the market level, with the relationship between
the financial sectors and the domestic sovereign bond being its most important driver across countries.
