In this paper, we apply time-varying copulas to investigate whether a contagion effect existed between energy and stock … dependence between crude oil and stock markets after the failure of Lehman Brothers, thus supporting the existence of contagion … the paired markets. This indicates that significant increases in tail dependence are an actual dimension of the contagion …
