Abstract
We utilize the cross-quantilogram method to assess the predictive capacity of geopolitical risk (GPR) on volatility spillovers calculated by the time-varying parameter vector autoregressive model, across international commodity, exchange, and U.S. and Chinese stock markets. The findings yield three notable observations: First, we establish the directional predictive influence of GPR on net and net pairwise volatility spillovers, indicating discernible shifts in the risk roles of specific markets and transmission pathways. Second, these shifts, anticipated by GPR, manifest swiftly within a single day and subside within a quarter, albeit with varying durations contingent on market categories and transmission pathways. Third, disparities are evident in the predictive effectiveness of geopolitical acts and geopolitical threats. These findings remain robust even when considering factors such as economic policy uncertainty, alternative proxies, and other spillover models.
期刊介绍:
International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
