“…There is also overwhelming evidence corroborating the significance of volatility spillovers of European stock markets in the light of oil prices (Giannellis, Kanas, & Papadopoulos, 2010;Arouri, Jouini, & Nguyen, 2011Antonakakis, 2012;Tamakoshi & Hamori, 2013;Reboredo, 2014). More comprehensive studies carried out extensive volatility spillover comparisons among different countries (Serra, 2011;Korkmaz, Çevik, & Atukuren, 2012;Krause & Tse, 2013;Nazlioglu, Erdem, & Soytas, 2013;Salisu & Mobolaji, 2013;Valadkhani, Harvie, & Karunanayake, 2013). Some recent studies examined the behavior of the U.S. stock markets and sector indices depending on oil prices and found evidence of significant transmission of volatility and shocks between oil prices and relevant sectors (Hammoudeh, Li, & Jeon, 2003;Malik & Ewing, 2009;Du, Yu, & Hayes, 2011;Diebold & Yilmaz, 2012;Ji & Fan, 2012;Trujillo-Barrera, Mallory, & Garcia, 2012;Liu, Ji, & Fan, 2013).…”
