The impact channel of crude oil market risk on the macroeconomy is highly related to oil attributes. This paper uses a stepwise test method with dummy variables to identify the channel effect of commodity market risk as well as financial market risk and explore the characteristics of the channel effect in different periods dominated by different oil attributes. Furthermore, this paper investigates the asymmetric characteristics of the channel effect under the condition of crude oil returns heterogeneity. The empirical results show that: First, commodity market risk, as well as financial market risk plays a channel role in the impact of crude oil market risk on the macroeconomic operation. Second, there is a significant difference in the ability of the commodity market and financial market to cope with shocks of crude oil market risk in periods dominated by different attributes. During the period dominated by the commodity attribute of oil, both commodity market and financial market play the role of “risk buffer”; during the period dominated by dual attributes of oil, the commodity market risk plays the role of “risk buffer”, while the financial market risk plays the role of “magnifier” of the crude oil market risk. Third, the channel effect pattern and degree of commodity market risk and financial market risk are significantly asymmetric.

AbstractThis study examines the hedging effectiveness of financial innovations against crude oil investment risks, both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on the non-energy exchange traded funds (ETFs) as proxies for financial innovations given the potential positive correlation between energy variants and crude oil proxies. We employ a multivariate volatility modeling framework that accounts for important statistical features of the non-energy ETFs and oil price series in the computation of optimal weights and optimal hedging ratios. Results show evidence of hedging effectiveness for the financial innovations against oil market risks, with higher hedging performance observed during the pandemic. Overall, we show that sectoral financial innovations provide resilient investment options. Therefore, we propose that including the ETFs in an investment portfolio containing oil could improve risk-adjusted returns, especially in similar financial crisis as witnessed during the pandemic. In essence, our results are useful for investors in the global oil market seeking to maximize risk-adjusted returns when making investment decisions. Moreover, by exploring the role of structural breaks in the multivariate volatility framework, our attempts at establishing robustness for the results reveal that ignoring the same may lead to wrong conclusions about the hedging effectiveness.

Abstract A new class of multivariate nonlinear quasi-vector autoregressive (QVAR) models is introduced. It is a Markov switching score-driven model with stochastic seasonality for the multivariate t-distribution (MS-Seasonal-t-QVAR). As an extension, we allow for the possibility of having common-trends and nonlinear co-integration. Score-driven nonlinear updates of local level and seasonality are used, which are robust to outliers within each regime. We show that VAR integrated moving average (VARIMA) type filters are special cases of QVAR filters. Using exclusion, sign, and elasticity identification restrictions in MS-Seasonal-t-QVAR with common-trends, we provide short-run and long-run impulse response functions for the global crude oil market.
