Abstract
This article analyzes different international share price indices for the period 1995-2013, in order to test for the existence and date of appearance of asset price explosions in the world's stock markets. A sign test is employed to construct different indices of bubbles in representative financial markets for each region, using dynamic factor models. These indices permit a characterization to be made of each region in terms of risk and, also, of the occurrence of financial bubbles. Evidence is found that indicates a certain degree of synchronization between episodes of financial bubbles in the markets analyzed and, generally, at international level.
