We propose several connectedness measures built from pieces of variance decompositions, and we argue that they provide natural and insightful measures of connectedness among financial asset returns and volatilities. We also show that variance decompositions define weighted, directed networks, so...

One of the main purposes to use the futures products in commodity markets is to fill the hedging needs for relatively large market risk and counterparty risk in commodity spot markets. We believe that these two types of market and credit risk will be incorporated into the commodity futures...

We disentangle U.S. credit spreads' evolution into two distinct parts resulting from market risk and default risk influences. We consider credit spreads (versus Treasury yields) as a credit risk proxy and S&P500 stock index as a market/systematic risk proxy. Such data allow for achieving a...
