We construct a state-dependent trivariate GARCH-M model to extract state-dependent risk-aversion coefficients around the 1997-1999 financial meltdown. These coefficients are further used to decompose sector risk into global (systematic), country-specific (diversifiable through global country allocation) and sector-specific (diversifiable through domestic sector allocation) risk measures. Our investigation shows that although the importance of country factors persists, diversification benefits arising from sector-based allocation have increased as a result of the Asian meltdown.
