    Does the U.S. export inflation? Evidence from the dynamic inflation spillover between the U.S. and EAGLEs
    (Elsevier Inc, 2024-07-02) Nguyen TTT; Pham SD; Li X-M; Do HX
    Given the crucial role of inflation as a key economic barometer, our paper investigates the dynamic inflation spillover between the U.S. and the nine emerging and growth-leading economies (EAGLEs) between 1991M1 and 2020M2. Employing the recently developed time-varying parameter vector autoregressions (TVP-VAR)-based connectedness approach, we find evidence of a moderate inflation spillover across the sample countries at normal condition. We further point out that inflation spillover effects with the U.S. are more pronounced for the emerging markets with higher openness, the net oil-importing emerging markets, and the emerging markets following free-float exchange rate regimes. More importantly, the inflation spillover index among the system rises dramatically to over 70% under extremely inflationary conditions, implying that the transmission of spiral inflation is very high. Additionally, the time-varying analysis shows that the role of the U.S. in the inflation shock transmission with emerging countries varies between being a net inflation-exporter and inflation-importer over times. Finally, an investigation of the drivers of the inflation spillovers reveals that the U.S. dollar, emerging markets' economic policy uncertainty, and bilateral trade are key determinants of the inflation shock transmission among the system. Our findings justify central banks’ actions in decreasing U.S. dollar reserves to safeguard their domestic currencies.

    Electricity market crisis in Europe and cross border price effects: A quantile return connectedness analysis
    (Elsevier B V, 2024-07) Do HX; Nepal R; Pham SD; Jamasb T
    As the interconnection of the European electricity markets and integration of renewables progresses, there is little known about interconnectedness across them at times of market turbulence. The electricity crisis of 2021 and 2023 were significant events that can also provide lessons in the behaviour of integrated markets with high renewables under stress. Despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war on the European energy market, little is known about their effects on the transmission of risks between the electricity markets. We employ the quantile connectedness approach to quantify the return connectedness between eleven key European markets, as well as the natural gas and carbon markets. We then examine the effect of the two crises on the interconnectedness. We find significant return interconnectedness, driven by spillover effects, among the markets. Analysis of connectedness across quantiles shows that the spillover effects are much stronger at tail ends of conditional distribution. Moreover, our results reveal opposite effects from crises on market interconnectedness. While the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the interconnectedness, the Russia-Ukraine war intensified the return shock transmission. Finally, we find that the natural gas and carbon markets are net recipients of return shocks across the quantiles.

    Tail risk connectedness in the Australian National Electricity Markets: The impact of rare events
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024-12-25) Pham SD; Do HX; Nepal R; Jamasb T
    The tail risks can exhibit different and important features than average measures of risk in interconnected electricity markets. This paper examines the interconnectedness of tail risks within the regionally interconnected Australian National Electricity Market. We use the Conditional Autoregressive Value-at-Risk (CAViaR) and time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) connectedness approach. Analysing historical data between 01 January 2006 and 04 February 2024. The results show significant levels of connectedness for both negative and positive tail risks, highlighting the dynamic and interdependent nature of these markets. Notably, we identify asymmetries in the transmission of tail risks and their key drivers, including oil market volatility and global geopolitical risks. Our findings show that some regions play a pivotal role in the risk dynamics across the regions of the network and the influence of energy source diversity on risk profiles. The study underscores the complexity of managing the expected increase in tail risks in interconnected electricity markets, emphasizing the need for adaptive, forward-thinking strategies tailored to evolving global and local conditions.
