This paper investigates the asymmetric effects of climate policy uncertainty (CPU) and the global price of energy index (GPEI) on Bitcoin prices. It applies the nonlinear ARDL method and the Granger causality test to examine how changes in climate policy uncertainty and energy prices influence...

This study investigates the environmental implications of cryptocurrency energy consumption on climate change. Using a spectrum of approaches, including Granger causality across quantiles, cross-quantilograms, and dynamic connectedness, we provide novel evidence on the nexus between Bitcoin...

We study the impact of geopolitical uncertainty on banking risk. Using a large sample of 21,618 unique banks over a period from 2010 to 2021, our results reveal that geopolitical risk (GPR) significantly increases (erodes) banking risk (stability). This finding remains robust using alternative...
