Effective Transfer

This paper applies effective transfer entropy to research the information transfer in the Chinese stock market around its crash in 2015. According to the market states, the entire period is divided into four sub-phases: the tranquil, bull, crash, and post-crash periods. Kernel density estimation is used to calculate the effective transfer entropy. Then, the information transfer network is constructed. Nodes’ centralities and the directed maximum spanning trees of the networks are analyzed. The results show that, in the tranquil period, the information transfer is weak in the market. In the bull period, the strength and scope of the information transfer increases. The utility sector outputs a great deal of information and is the hub node for the information flow. In the crash period, the information transfer grows further. The market efficiency in this period is worse than that in the other three sub-periods. The information technology sector is the biggest information source, while the consumer staples sector receives the most information. The interactions of the sectors become more direct. In the post-crash period, information transfer declines but is still stronger than the tranquil time. The financial sector receives the largest amount of information and is the pivot node.

Effective Transfer

We quantify the strength and the directionality of information transfer between the Ghana stock market index and its component stocks as well as observe the same among the individual stocks on the market using transfer entropy. The information flow between the market index and its components and among individual stocks is measured by the effective transfer entropy of the daily logarithm returns generated from the daily market index and stock prices of 32 stocks ranging from 2nd January 2009 to 16th February 2018. We find a bidirectional and unidirectional flow of information between the GSE index and its component stocks, and the stocks dominate the information exchange. Among the individual stocks, SCB is the most active stock in the information exchange as it is the stock that receives the highest amount of information, but the most informative source is EGL (an insurance company) that has the highest net information outflow while the most information sink is PBC that has the highest net information inflow. We further categorize the stocks into 9 stock market sectors and find the insurance sector to be the largest source of information which confirms our earlier findings. Surprisingly, the oil and gas sector is the information sink. Our results confirm the fact that other sectors including oil and gas mitigate their risk exposures through insurance companies and are always expectant of information originating from the insurance sector in relation to regulatory compliance issues. It is our firm conviction that this study would allow stakeholders of the market to make informed buy, sell, or hold decisions.

Uncovering dynamic information flow between stock market indices has been the topic of several studies which exploited the notion of transfer entropy or Granger causality, its linear version. The output of the transfer entropy approach is a directed weighted graph measuring the information about the future state of each target provided by the knowledge of the state of each driving stock market index. In order to go beyond the pairwise description of the information flow, thus looking at higher order informational circuits, here we apply the partial information decomposition to triplets consisting of a pair of driving markets (belonging to America or Europe) and a target market in Asia. Our analysis, on daily data recorded during the years 2000 to 2019, allows the identification of the synergistic information that a pair of drivers carry about the target. By studying the influence of the closing returns of drivers on the subsequent overnight changes of target indexes, we find that (i) Korea, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore are, in order, the most influenced Asian markets; (ii) US indices SP500 and Russell are the strongest drivers with respect to the bivariate Granger causality; and (iii) concerning higher order effects, pairs of European and American stock market indices play a major role as the most synergetic three-variables circuits. Our results show that the Synergy, a proxy of higher order predictive information flow rooted in information theory, provides details that are complementary to those obtained from bivariate and global Granger causality, and can thus be used to get a better characterization of the global financial system.

Effective Transfer

This study mainly uses the method of effective transfer entropy (ETE) to study the risk transmission in each year among the 11 provinces and municipalities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt during the last five years. From the results of the risk transmission network, centralities of the regions, and maximum spanning trees, it can be seen that, in the years of 2015 and 2016, the risk transmission in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is relatively large, and in 2015, Shanghai is the main risk exporter. This may be mainly due to the violent turbulence in the Chinese stock market, and in 2016, although Chinese stock market is in a stable position, the whole risk transmission is still high, but the difference from 2015 is that the input and output risk of each province and municipality are more uniform and are no longer like Shanghai as the main exporter of risk in 2015. From the perspective of risk spillover, the overall trend is from the western region of China to the central region, and finally to the eastern region. Specifically, from the results of the maximum spanning tree, except the stock market crash period in 2015, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan (the western region) are the main exporters of risk, while Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai (the eastern region) are often at the edge at this time, and from the results of the centrality of the region indexes, Hubei, Jiangxi, and Anhui (the central region) are in the hub position of risk transmission.

<p>Transfer entropy methods provide an approach to understanding asymmetric information flow in coupled systems, with particular application to understanding allosteric interactions in biomolecular systems. Transfer entropy analysis holds the potential to reveal pathways or networks of residues that are coupled in their information flow and thus give new insights into folding and binding dynamics. Most current methods for calculating transfer entropy require very long simulations and almost equally long calculations of joint probability histograms to compute the information transfer that make these methods either functionally intractable or statistically unreliable. Available approximate methods based on graph and network theory approaches are rapid but lose sensitivity to the chemical nature of the biomolecules and thus are not applicable in mutation studies. We show that reliable estimates of the transfer entropy can be obtained from the variance-covariance matrix of atomic fluctuations, which converges quickly and retains sensitivity to the full chemical profile of the biomolecular system. We validate our method on ERK2, a well-studied kinase involved in the MAPK signaling cascade for which considerable computational, experimental, and mutation data are available. We present the results of transfer entropy analysis on data obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of wild type active and inactive ERK2, along with mutants Q103A, I84A, L73P, and G83A. We show that our method is consistent with the results of computational and experimental studies on ERK2, and we provide a method for interpreting networks of interconnected residues in the protein from a perspective of allosteric coupling. We introduce new insights about possible allosteric activity of the extreme N-terminal region of the kinase, which to date has been under-explored in the literature and may provide an important new direction for kinase studies. We also describe evidence that suggests activation may occur by different paths or routes in different mutants. Our results highlight systematic advantages and disadvantages of each method for calculating transfer entropy and show the important role of transfer entropy analysis for understanding allosteric behavior in biomolecular systems.</p>

Effective Transfer

We investigate the strength and direction of information flow among economic policy uncertainty (EPU), US imports and exports to China, and the CNY/US exchange rate by using the novel concept of effective transfer entropy (ETE) with a sliding window methodology. We verify that this new method can capture dynamic orders effectively by validating them with the linear transfer entropy (TE) and Granger causality methods. Analysis shows that since 2016, US economic policy has contributed substantially to China-US bilateral trade and that China is making passive adjustments based on this trade volume. Unlike trade market conditions, China’s economic policy has significantly influenced the exchange rate fluctuation since 2016, which has, in turn, affected US economic policy.

Dynamic Correlation

Examining the contemporaneous causality between Chinese and Ghanaian stock markets before and amidst the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is of immense interest to many stakeholders in making effective and efficient decisions. This study investigates why the two stock markets’ fluctuations seem to move in tandem despite a broader economic phenomenon. Shanghai Stock Exchange and Ghanaian Stock Exchange composite indices data were used for this study spanning 2011-2020. The Granger causality and transfer entropy are applied to investigate the mean transmission. The Dynamic Conditional Correlation Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (DCC-GARCH) model portrays the dynamic correlation and the ARMA model is used to fit the log-returns of the two indices. Results show that the Chinese stock market has a substantial causal effect on the Ghanaian stock market based on transfer entropy with the second order of lag while there is a considerable causality from the stock market of Ghana to the Chinese stock market through the third and fifth orders of lags. This implies the asynchronous return transmission between Chinese and Ghanaian stock markets. Moreover, the long term volatility connection significantly impacts the two markets, but the short-term volatility pattern does not heavily affect the markets based on the DCC-GARCH model. The best-fitted model for the log returns of two stock markets is ARMA (1,1). This study recommends that policymakers and investors adopt diversification as a resort to financial management.
