Abstract
Understanding how risks are transferred between fossil energy markets is essential to promoting China’s sustainable growth as climate change and the energy transition shake these markets. This study uses the CoVaR approach to build a tail risk network with a focus on the fossil energy industry in China. We then use the PageRank algorithm to determine which institutions and industries within this network are systemically important. Furthermore, we look into how exogenous shocks from extreme occurrences can dynamically transmit tail risk spillovers in the market. The empirical results show that risk spillovers within China’s fossil fuel system vary over time. This study provides new insights into fossil energy markets that can assist investors in spreading investment risks and regulators in creating effective policies by examining the various risk transmission mechanisms among fossil energy markets of three crises: the COVID-19 pandemic, the Sino-US trade war, and the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
期刊介绍:
The focus of the North-American Journal of Economics and Finance is on the economics of integration of goods, services, financial markets, at both regional and global levels with the role of economic policy in that process playing an important role. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Empirical and policy-related papers that rely on data and the experiences of countries outside North America are also welcome. Papers should offer concrete lessons about the ongoing process of globalization, or policy implications about how governments, domestic or international institutions, can improve the coordination of their activities. Empirical analysis should be capable of replication. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to supply data and computer programs.
