Description
Summary:Based on the Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR), this paper constructs a contagion complex network of global stock market returns, and uses the Quantile-on-Quantile Regression (QQR) to explore the impact of global geopolitical risks on the connectedness of global stock markets. By applying the risk contagion analysis framework, we depict risk contagion and correlation between financial markets in different countries. We also identify the risk contagion characteristics of international financial markets. This paper innovatively introduces the quantile-on-quantile regression method to the study of geopolitical risk. Through the quantile-on-quantile approach, we find that there is an asymmetric relationship between geopolitical risk and the global stock market correlation network. Our conclusions provide some suggestions for policy makers and relevant investors on how to deal with the current high global geopolitical risks. They also provide ideas on how to effectively hedge such risks during asset allocation and policy formulation.
