Given Ireland’s small, open economy, it faces greater risks from protectionist shocks compared to larger, di- versified economies. The paper examines various protectionist shocks, revealing that both tariff and non-tariff measures could significantly impact the Irish economy, particularly the traded sector. The resulting economic shifts may adversely affect the labour market, consumption, and public finances, with potential declines in personal, indirect, and corporation tax receipts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144314342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, emerging economies in Europe are susceptible to global shocks; however, these shocks tend to have a more pronounced impact on prices and output which may vary across time and frequency. This underscores the need for a deeper analysis through time and frequency of the growth-inflation nexus in response to global shocks highlighting the study’s unique contribution. Hence, we examined the dynamic conditional impact of two global risk factors as uncertainty indices amid inflation (CPI) and economic growth (GDP) in the context of four selected emerging European nations. These countries included Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, and Russia. Two uncertainty indicators − Global Economic Policy Uncertainty (GEPU) and Geopolitical Risk (GPR) were utilized. The bi-wavelet approach was employed to examine the nexus between CPI and GDP, whereas the partial wavelet technique was used to decipher the co-movement between CPI and GDP relative to the global risk factors. We found low positive co-movements between inflation and economic growth in the short-term. Conversely, we observed no lead-lag nexus in the long-term confirming the natural rate hypothesis. The results of the partial wavelet divulged the protracted and substantial influence of GEPU on the co-movements between GDP and CPI except for Russia. The time-varying perspective was confirmed by the DCC-GARCH time-varying connectedness approach as robustness. The country-specific variables as well as the global risk factors are highly connected in crisis episodes implying contagion effects. The economic growth indicator revealed a consistent net receiving role whereas GEPU and GPR were significant net transmitters. This explicates that the economic growth of these emerging economies is responsive to GEPU and GPR shocks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34321,"journal":{"name":"Research in Globalization","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144253333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We ask: To what extent does global geopolitical uncertainty shape inflation in SSA, and what does this reveal about the region’s exposure to external shocks in a globalized world? Using Wavelet Coherence and Quantile-on-Quantile Regression (QQR), we analyse monthly data from 17 SSA economies spanning January 2016 to September 2024. Our findings reveal asymmetric and time-varying impacts of geopolitical risk on inflation, with significant cross-country differences based on economic structure, policy capacity, and reliance on external markets. For instance, in Angola and Malawi, moderate geopolitical shocks exacerbate inflation, while in countries like Benin and Zimbabwe, strong shocks are absorbed with relative resilience. Wavelet findings further demonstrate varying transmission intensities over short-, medium-, and long-term horizons, underscoring the importance of frequency-sensitive policy responses. These results highlight the relevance of building economic resilience through regional integration, diversified trade partnerships, and targeted monetary frameworks.
