Networks of volatility spillovers among stock markets
Baumöhl, Eduard; Kočenda, Evžen; Lyócsa, Štefan; … - 2017
In our network analysis of 40 developed, emerging and frontier stock markets during 2006-2014, we describe and model volatility spillovers during global financial crisis and tranquil periods. The resulting market interconnectedness is depicted by fitting a spatial model incorporating several...

Uncertainty shocks and financial crisis indicators
Hristov, Nikolay; Roth, Markus - 2019
The current paper broadens the understanding of the role played by uncertainty in the context of macroeconomic fluctuations. It focuses on the implications of uncertainty shocks for indicators that tend to precede financial crises. In an empirical analysis we show for a set of four euro area...

Uncertainty across volatility regimes
Angelini, Giovanni; Bacchiocchi, Emanuele; Caggiano, … - 2017
We propose a new non-recursive identification scheme for uncertainty shocks, which exploits breaks in the unconditional volatility of macroeconomic variables. Such identification approach allows us to simultaneously address two major questions in the empirical literature on uncertainty: (i) Does...

Stock market integration between three CEECs, Russia and the UK
Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Spagnolo, Nicola - 2010
This paper estimates a tri-variate VAR-GARCH(1,1)-in-mean model to examine linkages between the stock markets of three Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs), specifically the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, and both the UK and Russia. The adopted framework allows to analyse...

Financial uncertainty and real activity : the good, the bad, and the ugly
Caggiano, Giovanni; Castelnuovo, Efrem; Delrio, Silvia; … - 2020
disruptions are found to double the negative output response to an uncertainty shock. We then employ our model to estimate the … overall economic cost of the COVID-19-induced uncertainty shock under different scenarios. Our results point to the … interventions that keep credit conditions as healthy as they were before the COVID-19 uncertainty shock are found to substantially …

Impulse response matching estimators for DSGE models
Guerrón-Quintana, Pablo A.; Inoue, Atsushi; Kilian, Lutz - 2016
One of the leading methods of estimating the structural parameters of DSGE models is the VAR-based impulse response matching estimator. The existing asymptotic theory for this estimator does not cover situations in which the number of impulse response parameters exceeds the number of VAR model...

Structural vector autoregressions with heteroskedasticity : a comparison of different volatility models
Lütkepohl, Helmut; Netšunajev, Aleksei - 2015
A growing literature uses changes in residual volatility for identifying structural shocks in vector autoregressive (VAR) analysis. A number of different models for heteroskedasticity or conditional heteroskedasticity are proposed and used in applications in this context. This study reviews the...

Did the fed surprise the markets in 2001? : a case study for VARs with sign restrictions
Uhlig, Harald - 2001
In 2001, the Fed has lowered interest rates in a series of cuts, starting from 6.5 per cent at the end of 2000 to 2.0 per cent by early November. This paper asks, whether the Federal Reserve Bank has been surprising the markets, taking as given the conventional view about the effect of monetary...

Stock prices and economic fluctuations : a Markov switching structural vector autoregressive analysis
Lanne, Markku (contributor); Lütkepohl, Helmut (contributor) - 2008
The role of expectations for economic fluctuations has received considerable attention in recent business cycle analysis. We exploit Markov regime switching models to identify shocks in cointegrated structural vector autoregressions and investigate different identification schemes for bi-variate...

Why does risk matter more in recessions than in expansions?
Andreasen, Martin Møller; Caggiano, Giovanni; … - 2021
-sized uncertainty shock generates a larger contraction in real activity when growth is low (as in recessions) than when growth is high …
