The spillover effects of economic policy uncertainty on the oil, gold, and stock markets: Evidence from China

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the different spillover levels of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on the oil, gold, and stock markets in China. EPU has the highest levels of the growth and volatility spillover on the gold market, and EPU transmits the lowest levels of growth and volatility spillovers to the oil market. EPU receives the highest level of return spillover from the oil market and the lowest from the gold market. However, EPU receives a higher level of the volatility spillover from the gold and stock markets. Regarding growth spillover, EPU is the net spillover receiver from the oil market and the net spillover transmitter to the gold market. Regarding volatility spillover, EPU is a main spillover receiver from all three markets. All net spillovers from EPU to the oil, gold, and stock markets are time‐varying. The recent financial crisis exerts significant effects on the net spillovers of EPU on the three markets.

A sustainable economic revival plan for post-COVID-19 using machine learning approach – a case study in developing economy context

Global and domestic economic policy uncertainties and tourism stock market: Evidence from China

“…As a result, many scholars have focused on the link between EPU and stock market returns in several respects: emerging Asian stock markets (Dong and Yoon, 2019), Gulf Cooperation Council countries’ stock markets (Abdullah, 2020), and developed countries (Mei et al, 2018). Research has also covered various economic sectors, especially in terms of oil prices (Roubaud and Arouri, 2018), gold prices (Gao et al, 2020), bitcoin (Mokni et al, 2020), and commodity markets (Andreasson et al, 2016). Still other areas have been explored as well.…”

Dynamic Relationship between the Return of Gold, Crude Oil, and the Stock Exchange of Thailand Based on a Vector Autoregressive Model

“…This study focuses on three major investment assets -gold, crude oil, and financial asset -that are fundamental to the economy. Gold has long been regarded as a safe-haven asset (Raza et al, 2016;Gao et al, 2020). Besides, gold can be used as an inflation hedge, a medium of exchange (Baur and Lucey, 2010), and is currently one of the international reserves.…”
