Analyzing time-varying tail dependence between leveraged loan and debt markets in the U.S. economy
(International Review of Finance, 2024-06) Tiwari, Aviral Kumar; Trabelsi, Nader; Abakah, Emmanuel Joel Aikins; Lee, Chi-Chuan
This study analyzes the time-varying dependence between U.S. leveraged loan and debt markets within a highly linked financial system using a quantile-based time-varying connectedness framework to determine the hedging benefits of leveraged loans for financial investors at various quantiles. Based on daily closing price data from November 28, 2008 to October 3, 2023, the evidence demonstrates considerable (moderate) spillovers across the leveraged loan and debt markets for severe (normal) occurrences, with additional results indicating symmetric interaction. In terms of risk spillover, we also affirm the dominance of short-term fixed-income instruments over leveraged loans and long-term bonds. These findings indicate that no hedging or diversification occurred among the investigated markets.
Nexus of crude oil and clean energy stock indices: Evidence from time-vector-auto-regression in conjunction with conditional-autoregressive-value-at-risk

The current study aims to elicit information regarding the tail risk transmission mechanism between crude oil (CO) and selected clean energy (CE) stock indices across time and during certain economic events. A Time-Varying Parameter Vector Auto-Regressive model (TVP-VAR) paired with the conditional autoregressive value-at-risk (CAViaR) approach was used to investigate data from January 1, 2015 to December 29, 2022. Overall, we show that an increased vulnerability to tail risk and deficits might be linked to dynamic spillover over examined markets. We also provide evidence that connectedness rises during significant crisis situations, and the last epidemic has the potential to make a lasting impact on the various marketplaces of concern. According to the return and conditional variance time-series, CE stock indices are the most important source of return shocks to CO. However, the CO is the primary cause of volatility in CE stock indices. During the recent virus pandemic, the most significant volatility shock transmissions from CO to CE stock indices occurred. During the Russia-Ukraine war, volatility shocks to CO were mostly caused by CE stock indices. The results of our study offer concrete consequences and new perspectives to various market players in order to improve the management and understanding of risks.
