This paper studies the impact of China’s new energy policies on expected changes and volatility in new energy stock prices. Considering different kinds of policies (energy legislation, binding targets for new energies, economic incentives and technological research and development) and several...

Renewable energy deployment is arguably the best way to address the challenges of climate change. This paper investigates convergence in the contribution of renewable energies to the energy supply for a broad set of countries for the period 1990 to 2010. Using a nonlinear time-varying...

The European Union carbon market is undergoing rapid development and its interdependence with fossil fuel markets is increasingly important for energy investors. In this study, exponential general autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic models, extreme value theory and copulas are used to...

We investigated systemic sovereign debt distress affecting European financial systems and the systemic risk implications for its European partners of a potential Greek debt default before and after the onset of the financial and debt crises, using the conditional value-at-risk (CoVaR) measure,...

Some European exchanges (e.g. Euronext, Frankfurt and Madrid) make use of a mechanism to moderate price volatility that was proposed by Madhavan (1992) as preferable to a trading halt in times of market stress. It consists of a temporary switch from continuous to call auction trading in an...

This paper examines the dependence structure between crude oil benchmark prices using copulas. By considering several copula models with different conditional dependence structures and time-varying dependence parameters, we find evidence of significant symmetric upper and lower tail dependence...

We examine the relationship between oil and stock markets in Europe and the USA at the aggregate and sectoral levels using wavelet multi-resolution analysis. Wavelet decomposition of the original time series is useful in characterizing the oil–stock price relationship at different time scales,...

This paper examines the dynamics of volatility transmission between EU emission allowances (EUA) and oil markets using a range-based volatility measure. We propose a multivariate conditional autoregressive range model with bivariate lognormal distribution to capture volatility dynamics and...
