The study investigates the tail-risk spillover between the markets for sukuk and conventional bonds across fifteen countries between 2016 and 2023. First, we estimate a time varying parameter-value at risk (TVP-VAR)-based frequency connectedness model to measure the total, short-, and long-term...

Tiny changes in the American monetary policy can have dramatic effects on the rest of the world because of dollar's double role of national and international currency. This is the Triffin dilemma. The paper shows how it works through three examples: price of commodities, dollarization, and the...

We introduce a methodology for measuring default risk connectedness that is based on an out-of-sample variance decomposition of model forecast errors. The out-of-sample nature of the procedure leads to "realized" measures which, in practice, respond more quickly to crisis occurrences than those...

This paper investigates dynamic currency hedging benefits, with a further focus on the impact of currency hedging before and during the recent financial crises originated from the subprime and the Euro sovereign bonds. We take the point of view of a Euro-based institutional investor who...

We find that exogenous structural shocks caused by terrorist attacks, wars, political turmoil and gold market specific events have a strong role to play in the analysis of dynamic relationships between gold and stock market returns. Our main finding is that the interaction between the gold...

Transitioning to a low-carbon economy involves risks for the value of financial assets, with potential ramifications for financial stability. We quantify the systemic impact on financial firms arising from changes in the value of financial assets under three climate transition scenarios that...

We introduce a method for measuring default risk connectedness of euro zone sovereign states using credit default swap (CDS) and bond data. The connectedness measure is based on an out-of-sample variance decomposition of model forecast errors. Due to its predictive nature, it can respond more...

Transitioning to a low-carbon economy involves risks for the value of financial assets, with potential ramifications for financial stability. We quantify the systemic impact on financial firms arising from changes in the value of financial assets under three climate transition scenarios that...

Previous research has proven that large financial markets can be prime determinants of volatility in smaller markets. This paper seeks to examine in a broader sense the linkages between developed and emerging financial markets. More specifically, we examine the relationship between two greatest...

The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted severe impacts on the socioeconomic fabric of worldwide countries, spreading financial and economic instability, affecting sentiment of market participants and institutions, and causing an unprecedented epidemic-related economic crisis. Interconnectedness is a...
