We utilise a long-span data set for the United Kingdom that extends back to 1856, and a time-varying causality testing methodology that accounts for nonlinearity and structural breaks. Using unemployment fluctuations as a proxy for macroeconomic conditions and wavelet decompositions to obtain the fundamental factor that drives excess returns for the British pound, time-varying causality tests based on alternative model specifications yield significant evidence of causal linkages and information spillovers across labour and currency markets over the majority of the sample. Causal effects seem to strengthen during the Great Depression and later following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, highlighting the role of economic crises in the predictive linkages between the two markets. While the predictive role of currency market dynamics over unemployment fluctuations reflects the effect of exchange rate volatility on corporate investment decisions, which in turn drives subsequent labour market dynamics, we argue that causality in the direction of exchange rates from unemployment possibly reflects signals regarding monetary policy actions, which in turn spill over to financial markets. Overall, the findings indicate significant information spillovers across labour and currency markets in both directions with significant policy making implications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47268,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multinational Financial Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.mulfin.2021.100679","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136997541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cross-sectional analyses show that the relations are affected by audit scandals, financial and natural disasters, audit firm size, and client subsidiaries.

The dependence is smaller for emerging economies than for advanced economies. Differences in the dependence across economies and over time are attributable to country fixed effects and time-varying factors. These factors include the size and openness of domestic bond markets, the variability of foreign exchange rates, macro-economic policies, and national indebtedness.

We use the quantile approach, which covers the entire distribution of the dependent variable, unlike previous studies that focus on the conditional mean only. We conduct the frequency domain causality test to disentangle the contagion and interdependence effects. Overall, the quantile analysis results demonstrate that crude oil, the S&amp;P 500 Index and silver positively affect the Saudi equity market, while the appreciation of the US Dollar Index negatively affects the market. US Treasuries asymmetrically influence the Saudi market—they have a positive effect in high market conditions (75th–90th quantiles), but a negative effect in low market conditions (10th–25th quantiles). The psychological barrier affects the Saudi market when the oil price commands or exceeds US$100 per barrel across different firm sizes.

The empirical results show that financial contagion arising from the oil market spreads first to developed markets and then to developing markets.
