Abstract

The correlation between stock price changes is useful information. Through the correlation matrix, we construct a portfolio with its minimum spanning tree. We make the minimum spanning tree of the Korean stock market, a representative emerging market, which is different from that of the mature market. It is due to the emerging market's less abundant liquidity than the mature market. And we find the distribution of the correlation coefficient is different for several periods. As the market is developing, many changes from inside and outside the market occurs, and several parameters of the stock market network are changed. The Korean stock market is under an evolution.
