Purpose – This paper aims to study the interplay of fiscal policy and asset prices in a time-varying fashion. Design/methodology/approach – Using South African data since 1966, the authors are able to study the dynamic shocks of both fiscal policy and asset prices on asset prices and fiscal policy based on a time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) model. This enables the authors to isolate specific periods in time to understand the size and sign of the shocks. Findings – The results seem to suggest that at least two regimes exist in which expansionary fiscal policy affected asset prices. From the 1970s until 1990, fiscal expansions were associated with declining house and slightly increased stock prices. The majority of the first decade of 2000 had asset prices increasing when fiscal policy expanded. On the other hand, increasing asset prices reduced deficits for the majority of the sample period, while the recent financial crises had a marked change on the way asset prices affect fiscal policy. Originality/value – This is the first attempt in the literature of fiscal policy and asset prices to use a TVP-VAR model to not only analyse the impact of fiscal policy on asset prices, but also the feedback from asset prices to fiscal policy over time.

This study analyzes the impacts of different drivers on the pricing of EU carbon futures in various periods by using the time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) model. The results indicate that: (1) The relationships between oil, gas, electricity, stock prices and carbon price have significant time-varying characteristics and those relationships have experienced an inversion in 2016. This might be due to the pressure of achieving the “EU 20-20-20” targets and the signing of the Paris Agreement as well as the fine-tuning of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). (2) The impacts of different drivers on carbon price are various. The carbon price is more sensitive to oil, gas, electricity prices as well as the stock price before the inversion in the short-term, while its response to changes in the stock price after the inversion is more obvious in the mid-long term. (3) After the signing of the Paris Agreement in the second quarter of 2016, the carbon price has a greater response to changes in its drivers. The oil price’s impact on carbon price became the most significant one among them.

This paper aims to examine the spillovers from stock prices onto consumption and interest rate for Turkey by using a time-varying vector autoregressive model with stochastic volatility. A three-variable time-varying vector autoregressive model is estimated to capture the time-varying nature of the macroeconomic dynamics in the Turkish economy between real consumption, nominal interest rate and real stock prices. In order to obtain the macroeconomic dynamics in a small open economy, the data covers the period 1987:Q1 until 2013:Q3 in Turkey. The sample data is gathered from the official website of Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. Overall, this study provides the evidence of significant time-varying spillovers on consumption and interest rate coming from the stock market during financial crises and implications of monetary policy in Turkey. In addition, a time-varying vector autoregressive model with stochastic volatility offers remarkable results about the impact of price shock on consumption levels in Turkey.
