the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC), and its transmission mechanisms at sector level. It
investigates the effects from US financial sector to the real economy of the world by examining
12 sectors in 28 major developed and emerging economies. At the same time, the potential
causes of the financial spillover and contagion effects are investigated. The analyses show that
there was financial spillover from the US to other countries in the world, and the effect was
significantly increased after crisis with financial contagion to some countries. The potential
causes of these effects including international investment, foreign trade between US and other

capital intensity, liquidity, leverage, and profitability of the firms in each sector in all countries
are important factors leading to these effects.
