Abstract

The economic impact of the containment measures enacted in most countries as a result of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented. Within this context, the main purpose of this analysis is to explore the impact of COVID-19 on the volatility transmission among American, European, and Chinese stock, energy, and commodity markets, both in the short and long-run. The empirical findings highlight that the COVID-19 pandemic has a strong impact on the linkages between the studied markets. The volatilities, correlations, and connectedness are stronger during the COVID-19 time lapse. However, these results vary between the short-run and the long-run investment horizons.

The selection of these markets is motivated by many reasons. First, the Chinese stock market is highly integrating and a substantial increase in the dependence between it and other market (Wu et al. 2019; Xiao 2020). Second, the Chinese market acts as the epicenter of both physical and financial contagion (Corbet et al. 2020). Finally, the American and the European are two superpowers that are also affected by this novel virus.

The choice of a filter length L = 8 responds to the reasonable strategy suggesting that using the smallest L that gives reasonable results and provides the most accurate time-alignment between wavelet coefficients at various scales and the original time-series.
