The model is developed by combining the Heston stochastic volatility framework with a regime switching volatility model, where both domestic and foreign interest rates follow the Hull–White model. This approach offers several advantages, such as the effective inclusion of regime switching and the correlation between exchange rates and interest rates, while maintaining analytical tractability. The pricing formula is derived by first obtaining the characteristic function of the underlying exchange rate using measure transformation. This formula is then numerically validated, and its application is demonstrated to analyze the impact of the regime switching factors. Furthermore, an empirical analysis using real market data is conducted to assess the practical relevance of incorporating these regime switching elements into the model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 102470"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144240422","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}

However, stock-market prices typically comprise an unobserved trend implying that even under pure randomness positive and negative returns are not necessarily equally probable. Therefore, it is difficult to infer the behavior of stock-market prices from the traditional runs test. Fortunately, the von Neumann algorithm allows to transform tosses of a potentially unfair coin, meaning that it could suffer from an unknown bias, into equiprobable outcomes. This is done by tossing the coin twice and retaining only the first observation when different outcomes arise.

The hedging and safe-haven roles of the green investments are examined, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict.

During Phase 2 of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, only some investments are influenced by demand oil shocks. When oil supply and risk shocks rise, the upside risk of all green investments tends to be mitigated, suggesting that, during unstable periods, investors should seek green investments to mitigate the risk spillovers of these two oil shocks.

By using a Panel Markov switching vector error correction model (MS-VECM), we identify the hedging ability of real estate in crisis and non-crisis periods, both in the short and long term. Real estate provides an effective hedge against inflation in the long run, both in crisis and non-crisis periods. In the short term, real estate securities only hedge against inflation in stable periods, but direct real estate also shows desirable inflation hedging in crisis periods. Real estate (both direct and securitized) effectively serves as a hedge against inflation shocks, particularly protecting against unexpected inflation and against energy inflation during stable periods. While stocks surpass real estate (both direct and securitized) in long-term inflation protection and real estate has short-term benefits, gold distinguishes itself by offering reliable long-run protection, but only in economic downturns. The results should provide important insights to investors seeking to allocate resources more efficiently in those turbulent times, both over the short and long term.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47831,"journal":{"name":"North American Journal of Economics and Finance","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 102488"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144322182","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}
