We estimate dynamic conditional correlations of financial asset returns across countries by an array of multivariate GARCH models and analyze spillover effects of the recent US financial crisis on 5 emerging Asian countries. We confirm the existence of financial contagion around the collapse of...

We analyze the cross-border propagation of systemic risk in the international sovereign debt market. Using daily data on CDS spreads for 67 sovereign borrowers from 2002 to 2013 we define sovereign credit events as those in which the spread widens by more than 99.9% of all spread changes within...

This paper examines spillover and spillback effects of unconventional monetary policies conducted by the European Central Bank (ECB) and Swiss National Bank (SNB) on the exchange rate's distribution. The empirical setup examines the price response of EURCHF risk reversal to a change in ECB and...

This paper tests for evidence of contagion between the financial markets of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, and the Philippines. Cross-country correlations among currencies and sovereign spreads are found to increase significantly during the crisis period, whereas the equity market...

We examine the spillover effects of the unremunerated reserve requirement (URR), which had been implemented in Thailand during 2006–2007, on stock returns through the Thai baht (THB) exchange rate against the euro (EUR) and the Japanese yen (JPY). Based on a sample of 270 firms listed on the...

We develop an empirical model of exchange rate returns, applied separately to samples of developed (DM) and developing (EM) economies' currencies against the dollar. Monetary policy stance of the global central banks, measured via a natural-language-based approach, has a large effect on exchange...

This paper explores the role of trade invoicing currencies in the international spillover of monetary policy. Using high-frequency measures of Federal Reserve monetary policy shocks, I show the exchange rates, interest rates and equity returns in countries with larger shares of dollar-invoiced...
