Abstract
In recent years, geopolitical events have frequently been expected to be significant drivers of changes in crude oil prices. Based on previous studies, we establish a model using the rolling window VAR-DY spillover model and complex network theory to measure the dynamic net spillover across financial markets. We select the geopolitical risk index developed by Caldara and Iacoviell and international crude oil spot prices and Chinese crude oil spot prices as sample data to discuss the results. We find that fluctuations in international crude oil prices not only strongly influence Chinese crude oil prices but also affect geopolitical risk to a certain extent. Second, the key modes facilitating the transmission of net volatility in the dynamic network are relatively stable and have a high probability of maintaining their internal structures. By analyzing the time-varying spillover effect among variables and network topology characteristics, we provide information for predicting changes in the net spillover of volatility among geopolitical risk and crude oil prices and guidance for decision makers.
期刊介绍:
Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
